I was offered a job yesterday which I will start Wednesday. Its nothing special, just your run of the mill part-time college student job.

Being 19, I’ve only worked one previous job, which was seasonal from 16-18. The money was great for my age but working with a particular sour man who took every chance to begrudge me instead of encouraging me left me with what I believe to be “workplace anxiety”.

I would dread every morning going into work wondering what he would say to me next - as was I equally petrified of making some kind of mistake or not doing something right. I suppose working there just shattered my confidence.

I’m here frothing at the mouth thinking about starting this new job, does anyone have similar experiences that would be willing to give me some advice? Thanks very much in advance!
