Thanks so much for dropping by for some blogger networking. Isn't it nice to be in such great company? I am always inspired by all of you and so thankful that blogging has provided such a great community of friends! Please help spread the word today, whether a tweet, in a post, or sending smoke signals - the more the merrier! :)
PS - My Hawaii recap is all ready for tomorrow (not lying this time - haha!) after running into some delays, so I cannot wait to share my photos and stories with you! Take me back, already!

Don't have any expectations and be ready to LISTEN!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new position with RMDH!
ReplyDeleteI had the privilege of visiting the first house in Philadelphia when I worked for the Eagles a few years ago. It was my first exposure to the charity beyond the drop boxes at their restaurants and I think what they do, and what you will be doing, is fantastic. Good luck on your new adventure.
My tip is go in every day with a positive attitude and a smile on your face!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting. My best advice is to carry a positive attitude with you.
ReplyDeleteAlways show up early, never wear leggings as pants.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely walk in with a very open mind for the work and new faces. :)
ReplyDeleteIve been trying to get to bed earlier and write in my thankful journal more often!!
ReplyDeleteI've hired a bunch of people and the biggest thing is to come ready to learn. Whatever you did before doesn't necessarily apply to what you're doing here. Your boss is going to have their own way of doing things and you need to stay open minded.
ReplyDeleteMy tips have to be always work hard, even if you don't want to, it will lead to amazing opportunities. I do physical therapy so I have done so much and saw tons of improvement with patients of mine and when I just work hard, have a great spirit then everyone succeeds! :)
ReplyDeleteDon't be afraid to ask questions and befriend as many people as possible!
ReplyDeletei started my second post-college job last year and my biggest advice to myself would have been to be patient, the learning curve can be greater than you think adjusting to the new culture, management and expectations but this does not mean you are failing! Ask a lot of questions and be honest about how you're feeling/where you need more help. It's much easier to ask in the first month or two, than 9 months down the line.
ReplyDeleteGet to know the people around you by smiling and observing...lol
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting!!!
I'd say to be your happy self, to be ready to listen to others' advice about the daily culture of how things are run, and to keep a positive attitude. Good luck, Meg!

ReplyDeleteWhy thank you, lady!! I am so excited for a great new adventure!
ReplyDeleteIt was such a great (and exhausting!) first day! It made me very excited that I took such a great leap of faith! Thanks so much - have a great week!!
ReplyDeleteFor starting a new job I recommend having an open mind and get plenty of sleep the first week or two as it takes a lot of energy to learn a new job!
ReplyDeleteYes! Being well-rested has been a game changer! I love starting my day wide awake with lots of energy to take in a long day of training!
ReplyDeleteWell... I don't really have an answer! I've been a stay at home mom since having children.... so it's been 8 years since having a job (and even before then, I was a nanny!) Hope you had an awesome first day! :)
ReplyDeleteSmile, be friendly and ready to learn... which I know you'll have no problem at!
