5 Golden Rules
If you don’t remember anything else, at least remember these:
- Show interest and enthusiasm – most (not all!) other potential slip-ups are less of an issue, or even avoided completely, if you act like you want to be there
- Offer to help out and muck out as much as possible
- Show respect – to all the staff and the work they do every day
- Make an effort to get along with everyone – they will then be more likely to teach you things, as well as offer you more exciting things to do – you might even be offered a job!
- Be professional – turn up on time, do as you’re asked and remember confidentiality
