No one wants to look silly or do the wrong thing at a new job. It is important to make the right impression(印象) from the first day. You’ll face new people. You will be in a new place.

It may be difficult to know what to do. Here are five tips to help you make it through the first days at a new job:

1. First impressions can last forever. Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day, find out if your new job has a dress code (rules about what you can wear to work). If so, be sure to follow it. No matter what, always be neat and clean.

2. Get to work on time. Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time.

3. Pay attention to introductions. One of the first things that your supervisor may do is to introduce you to co-workers. These co-workers will be important to you. They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss is not around.

4. Ask plenty of questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If he or she has not told you your duties, ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals for yourself.

5. Never be the first one to leave. Watch what your co-workers do around quitting time (下班时间).  It does not look good for you to be eager(急切) to leave.

JLetter 1 Whatever I do, I always think about if other people will like it. How can I stop worrying about what they think?                                                         —Eva, 14, Illinois

JLetter 2 My dream is to be on the Olympic team for gymnastics. My dad thinks I started too late and I’ll never be able to make it. He puts me down, but I want his support. What should I do?                                                    —Erica, 9, Texas

JLetter 3 What should I do if I failed a test? I’m afraid to tell my mom because she might get mad at me and I can’t play soccer. And soccer is like the world to me. —Ashley, 12, Wisconsin

JLetter 4 I just moved and I’m kind of shy, so how do I make new friends? —Jessica, 11, Canada

Dr. Molly’s Answer ① You should tell him about your dream and that if you work really hard, it might happen even though you started late. The sooner you tell your dad how you feel, the sooner you’ll be able to work on making your dream come true.

Dr. Molly’s Answer ② Nobody knows you at your new school. You have nothing to lose, so gather up all your courage and go over to someone who looks friendly and introduce yourself. You can ask that person about your teacher or the other kids in your class to break the ice. Good luck!

Dr. Molly’s Answer ③ It’s better to tell your mom the truth than for her to find out another way. When you tell her, explain why you failed the test. Ask her if she can help you study in the future, so you’ll do better on your tests and also have time for the soccer you love.

Dr. Molly’s Answer ④ Just be yourself and try not to care about what others think. The more you think about it, the worse you will feel. Always act strong and confident. Even if you are a little unsure of something, don’t doubt (怀疑) your abilities to do things right. Just relax.
