Do you know that feeling when you walk into a new office for the very first time?
Today is my first day at a new company, and I feel a mix of nerves and excitement.
I arrive at the building at eight thirty in the morning.
A security guard is at the front desk.
He is very friendly.
I don't have my employee badge yet.
He gives me a visitor badge.
I take the elevator to the fifth floor.
A woman meets me right outside the elevator.
She is my new team leader.
Is this the right floor for the marketing team?
Yes, this is the right floor.
The open workspace is bright, but it is not very quiet.
I meet a few colleagues around the office.
Do you work on the content side?
No, I don't work on content.
I handle client accounts.
What do you do on this team?
I manage social media and run online campaigns.
Where is the break room?
It is just around the corner, next to the printer.
The break room is not big, but it is cozy.
I don't know everyone's names yet, but I already feel welcome.
