First job help!

[TreeCutter3000]

My name is Owen, and I am a high school student from the Midwest. I joined this website to prepare for my new role as ground crew at a medium-large tree company. Do I need to know anything before heading to my first job in a few days? Any help is appreciated!

I imagine it's like any other job:

1. Work hard
2. Safety
3. Listen and do
4. Be a sponge

Learn the fine art of listening, and just doing exactly what they tell you. You can figure out the why as you go along.

 

[JMcMahonJr]

Leave your phone in your car.

Amen to that and keep your hands out of your pockets.

Be prepared to be sore as hell the morning after your first day. Well, and the rest of the first week. But, that will pass.
