Starting my first job at 16!

So basically I have got a job for over the summer which is great obviously but I'm a bit nervous because I think I'll definitely be the youngest there by a fair bit. Tbh I'm just a bit daunted and I'll be working mostly with someone else/ a team. Does anyone have any advice or has anyone maybe been in the same situation? Thanks : )

I got my first job when I was 16 as well, and I remember feeling nervous like you. It definitely helps if the team is nice and friendly, which I'm sure they will be. Be friendly and open, ask questions if you aren't sure and you'll be fine. It's understandable to be nervous but try to keep them under control. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, you're new so it's actually expected of you to get things wrong occasionally. You'll eventually find your groove and settle in. Good luck :smile:
Lucky you! In my busy area those aren't available for kids that young, if I may ask what is it? You can pm it, if you want
Thanks so much that's really helpful :smile:
