Don't be afraid to ask them some questions about the business or how they like certain things done. Let them have some input and they will like you a ton more and won't think you're this young spoiled college kid who didn't "put in the work" to get there. Don't be the "bossy know-it-all".

Sus Scrofa with a great piece do advice.

I worked as a laborer for two summers while in college. I worked for a large construction firm under several different foreman.

The company policy was for guys to work from 7:00 - 4:00. The boss who got the most out of his crew and was the most efficient gave us daily goals and told us when we finished the goal we could go home and get a full day's pay. We busted arse, did not take breaks, skipped lunch or took a quick 15 minute lunch and exceeded customer expectations.

Most days at 6:45 we were not just getting started but were in full stride and when we hit a snag we did not complain about it we found a way to get the job done.

I learned a lot from that man.
