    Usually they'll run through a few things with you before you go down to the floor. Then put you with someone for the day in whatever section they are putting you in to get a hang on what it is you're meant to do.

    First of all congrats OP for getting your first job ever. Well done :)

    And dont worry. Nobody expects you to know everything on your first day. Im sure you are getting some training.

    Good luck!

    Exactly, knowing where to find the information is the important thing.

    Best of luck with it, and don't worry if you feel exhausted after the first few days. It can be a bit of an information overload in a new job, so it can be tiring.

    Congratulations on your new position.

    Bet you in a couple of weeks time, you'll be surprised what a long way you've come in your job compared to your first day!
