I wish ya well on the new job!
I haven't had a paying or working job about as long as you!
the only advice I could give ya is
BE YOURSELF!! :)
Jel, I hope that will be good advice. I do have to dress in business attire, so I'm most worried about my feet. LOL
I've thought about going to work somewhere too, though I admit giving up my yoga pants deters me every time! I have to say though, you're so right about getting out into the world and how that's great for your creativity. Just pray you're working with some crazy characters you can roll into the next story... :)
Good luck!!
Yes, I will miss my comfort clothes, there's no question, but it's only part-time and like you say, maybe I'll come home with great characters out of it.
that would something I would have to worry about too, my attire,
now I just go about a 1/4 of a mile to moms, and just wear jeans and t~shirt, and no shoes.
the thing that would sorry me the most would bee making decent converation, that is not one of my strong points ! ( just ask my mom) :)
My advice - Wear stunning heels to walk into the office. Slip on comfy flats under your desk. :)
Give yourself some grace. Don't expect to know everything right away. Don't expect to be at the top of your game. Ask lots of questions, but be careful from whom you ask. Relax. Be yourself. Listen to what people are saying: You can learn a lot about an office culture. Take time to enjoy being back at work: It's a gift to be savored.
I have now been at my new job for 2.25 months. These are the things I am learning. :)
Yes! Don't walk in and try to change things the first week!! No matter how good your ideas are. LOL
Seriously, I wish you God's blessings in this, Kristin.
Kristin, I've ALWAYS been working, but for the last almost six years or so I've been telecommuting from home. About one year ago I answered an ad in our newspaper and became a stringer reporter. It definitely got me out of the house and right into the mix of everything in town. OH I was SCARED. I had to ask questions of total strangers. But it's been AWESOME. Embrace it! My fellow reporters are half my age but that doesn't seem to matter. I remind myself to walk in like I own the place. LOL. Two weeks ago the paper asked if I'd like to do a weekly column. Getting paid to write my opinion. (!) So, I say, go for it! You have a lot of experience and candor, and all you can go is straight up! :)
Oh this is all great advice. Taking it to heart, thank you gang!
