    Advise: Nervous about job orientation!

    Hello everyone!!!

    I am started a new job as a Supermarket Grocery Assistant Manager for a giant supermarket known as Hyvee in Midwest. I am totally nervous and excited about this opportunity. Can anyone advise what I should expect in my next 3 day Job Orientation. The store is opening sometime in June this 2013. What do you think this orientation scheduled next week is going to about? Thank you.

    Procedures, some training on pos, expectations of employees, nothing i would think to be nervous about
    If people can't tell your on steroids then your doing them wrong

    I would guess it will introduce you to the brand, their Identity, mission statement, etc. Points of contact. Emergency proceedures. etc. That is the base of what we do in our orientation. Different industry but thats what I would expect.

    Really based on your experience I was going to suggest what you may or may not want to ask or say at the orientation.
