Were you nervous when you first got hired for your current job?

Do you get anxious and think thoughts like "I don't know if prepare myself for the position".  Or "I don't if I fulfill the position due to lack of experience".  Like did you get doubt?

    No, but I used to feel that way so badly when I was younger.  I've now reached a point where I know what I'm doing and know that I'm good at it.  It was a long road to get there there though.

    Not really. But I had 25 years experience before I took this current job.

    I was nervous when I first started at my current job, but not for those reasons. I was worried about whether or not I would like the job, my co-workers, and my boss. Almost 8 years later and I'm still happy here.

    My first job and one that I kept for about 7 years out of my life was a job putting boxes full of tomatoes onto a pallet as fast as I could stack them. There's plenty of jobs out there for people that have absolutely no experience doing anything. It doesn't take any brains to pick up a cardboard box and to put it on a wooden pallet and then grab another one and put it on the pallet and keep doing the same thing all day long.

    I would recommend a person that has never worked before to get themselves a job in a packing house where they're stacking some kind of produce or in an assembly line where they're stacking some kind of item on a wooden pallet.  This will teach you how to work fast and hard with a minimum of. Knowledge how to do it it's very simple grab box set box on pallet grab box set box on pallet.

    You work as fast and hard as you can possibly do it all day long.  And after about 7 years your body and your mind is ready and able to work longer and harder than anybody else.  Then you can go look for a better job.

    People will be able to tell by looking at you that you know how to work.
