Your first time is always special. Your first kiss, your first interview, and your first job. Well, this article is all about the things you learn and experience when you embark on that new, exciting (and slightly stressful) journey when you find gainful (hopefully) employment somewhere. This is what happens when you start working for the first time.

You felt super important the first time you were asked to attend a meeting.

The first time you are asked to be a part of a "meeting," you feel like you just crossed some invisible barrier on the way to corporate super-stardom. "I am not just an employee any more. I'm an employee that attends... MEETINGS!"

You learn what it means to be a "professional."

You meet a lot of different people when you start working. Usually, most of them are nice people. But sometimes, life gives you lemons. And those lemons come in the form of people you won't really like. Sometimes, you won;t be able to stand them. But your first job will teach you that you don't have to like someone to work well with them. You just need to put your ego behind you and be "professional."
