Landed a very lucrative graduate job and feeling horribly underqualified - what do people actually do in office jobs??

Louhi décembre 01, 2018 usa jobs

I just graduated with a fairly generic business/psyc degree and was selected out of around 4,000 applicants to work at a government service HQ.

While I'm quite academic and present myself well, my only previous experience is in low-level retail. Throughout the 10 stage recruitment process I met many other grads that made me feel very 'out of my league' (internships, overseas applicants, masters) and I can't help but feel apprehensive about my lack of office/admin/desk job experience.

Anyone that works office jobs I would love to know - What does your day usually entail? What are some everyday tasks I can expect or familiarize myself with? Proposals? Report writing? Research?
