I start a new job on Monday after 15 years as a dental hygienist

I start on Monday after a long search. There are 15 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I am relieved and a bit nervous. How do you handle the first week?

That is wonderful news. Keep applying for a little while if you have not signed, it is a good habit.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
