How Starting a New Hobby Helped Me Overcome First Day Jitters
Starting a new job is scary, but it's all about how you handle it. This video shows how one employee started his new job on the right foot with the help of similar experiences.

As the saying goes, there is a first time for everything. And while foraying into unknown territory can be scary, it's how we handle these introductions to a new hobby, relationship or workplace that often defines our success in them.

He shares how answering a simple question on his first day set the stage for his future at the company.
