Mhamai first day at work is always weird, smile, ask for clarification if you aren't sure of anything and don't forget it is the first day - you can't be expected to know everything...! Good Luck (you'll be fine...)

HI mamai i guess we have some sort of bond as i am Amai. I also started a receptionist job today how was yours mine was really hectic one minute and then really calm the next. My first time as a receptionist and it is just temping. Hope yours went well tell us please.

Hi Amai, well not good news on the job front, unfortunatly I didnt check out the rate per hr, it was 8.50 euro an hour (I'm in Dublin) which is only about 5 sterling an hr and to add insult to injury, they expected you to work from 9.00 am to 5.30 pm with only a 30 minute break! So I left at 1 pm yesterday! To hell with that, I can surely do better than that. Hope your second day is going ok, will check in later.

Hi Amai, not normally on this late but woke up, couldn't sleep so came down for a lurk, I'm not going anywhere and I'm sure you dont have a boring life!
I'll be around here for a bit yet, I'm going to be actively seeking gainful employment until I'm gainfully employed!
