Your first job doesn’t define you. How you treat the people beside you on that shift starts to.

First jobs are mostly about discovering what work is: the tiredness, the rota, money arriving in exchange for hours of your life. They tell almost nobody anything about you. What does start to tell them something is how you are beside the other people on that shift, because that is where the habits you carry into every future workplace get set.

Pick one thing to be known for on your shifts. Covering for somebody, learning names fast, never leaving the worst job for the next person. Start with the next shift you work.
