Hi, Craig, that's quite similar to my first day on the new job. I found my first formal job since I graduated eventually, even though its not really linked to BA, but I know I need to find some place to start with. So, I choose accounting as my start point..  My job is composed of two, main task is as accounts administrator, and the other task is to help them build a database to manage all their spreadsheets, word document for the unit I work at. 

My first day at work:   Set up my email account, computer login ID, password.  They have different system, as a new bee, I don't have access to most of the systems, and office admin ask me to wait until IS dept fix it. So, I played with email function for a while ( set siganature, add contact detail, and my auto-reply format) until I can get access to some of the folder.  Luckily, my first day is to work with office admin, who in charge of the stationary, so I get my notebook, pen etc, immidiately and I can choose the ones I like         As my job is to work with her, she is quite nice to me. Introduced the dept I would be working in regarding my duties, who I would deal with, their positions, and general introduction to the organization.   In the afternoon, she get me sat with her and taught me what I should do for my positions.  then have a trial by myself.     Quite excited the first day~

But I feel the next day's new staff orientation was more helpful, we were introduced the org culture, all the policies, the org structures, and have a chance to go to several dept I would work with in future and meet the people there for a brief introduction.

It answers: Is this story clear, feasible...
In today's fast-paced digital world, successful projects aren't just built on great code—they're built on clarity. And that clarity often comes from one key player: the Business Analyst. At the heart of every great product or system is a need—a business goal, a customer pain point, or a regulatory requirement. But busines...
I have always loved cooking. I learned from my Grandma June and her kitchen was her sanctuary, a small, warm sunlit space filled with jars of spices, stacks of cookbooks, and the comforting smell of something always on the stove or baking in the oven. Grandma June was as great a cook as she was a teacher to me. She never followed a recipe “to...
