FIRST DAY ON THE JOB 101:
The first day for a new associate is a KEY day and may determine whether a new associate will be successful or not. It does not matter what type of job it is. Please as an associate, as a manager, or as an owner; prepare and anticipate where the issues will be and minimize them.
If you do this well, the new associate has a much better chance of being a good associate. If you don’t, you may not get a second chance.
