In this 50-minute session, Claire walks you through exactly what those crucial first hours on a new production look like — from who to introduce yourself to and how, to where to sit, when to ask questions and when to simply watch and learn. You will leave knowing how to read the room and find your feet fast.
Having hired and welcomed countless people onto productions over 20+ years, Claire knows precisely what makes a new starter stand out for the right reasons. She shares the small, practical things that signal you are switched on and easy to work with — turning up prepared, listening properly, offering to help before you are asked, and keeping a level head when day one feels like drinking from a firehose.
Most of all, this session is about settling those first-day nerves so they do not run the show. You will go in with a clear plan for your opening hours, a few smart questions in your back pocket, and the quiet confidence that comes from knowing what good looks like — so you can make the impression you want to make.
