First up.
Well done you.
Huge congrats.
You’ve landed your new job, obviously the interview was an astounding success: you definitely impressed a few people with your skills, knowledge and gorgeous personality.
You thought the worry was over at the moment when they asked, ‘Please tell us about yourself’ at the interview but here you are now reading this little ditty because you’ve successfully swapped one fear for another: the interview fear for the fear of actually starting (or maybe you are a few days in and a little anxious because you have no idea if you’ve done the right thing).
You could be questioning and perhaps doubting your skills and (heck) even asking yourself, ‘Will people like me, will I fit in, will I be able to do the work?’
I think it’s known as a teeny-weeny crisis of confidence.
But let’s get a handle on this, assuming that is you’re going to pitch up, yes?
Let’s talk about the inside ‘stuff’, the ‘stuff’ that has you worrying, those little self doubts that just might keep you awake the night before your first day.
What if the job is different to what you imagined?
Imagine you begin and the job is not exactly what you thought it was (from the job description and application form), what do you do?
Ignoring the ones who blatantly have no idea what the hell is required – no matter how hard HR bods and Managers try to accurately state what the role is and is required, they may not work at the face of the role and there could be discrepancies.
What do you do?
a) Leave at lunch time the first morning? (Don’t laugh, people do this).
b) Stay a week and tell yourself that you’ll decide at the weekend?
c) Give it a bit time and go with the flow?
No right answer there, oh, and in my past I have chosen all options, being the wise old soul that I am (cough cough), I would say option ‘c’ is the best solution, giving it time.
There is so much to take in and learn in a new job/role, it’s probably going to feel as if you’re all up in the air, this is perfectly normal. Give yourself time to learn the ropes and give yourself permission to be the newbie.
Will I Fit In?
One of the biggest fears or worries when starting a new job for many can be the question, ‘Will people like me and will I fit in’, my short answer to that is:
Yes. But that’s too vague, huh?
Here’s the thing:
You are technically the newbie and some people will be a lot more welcoming than others (that doesn’t necessarily mean they like or dislike you.)
If you are entering a well established team, remember they are an already formed social group: roles, personalities, reputations, hierarchies (whether spoken or not) are being played, and being the new kid, you entering all that has to be established all over again.
As the new person, you’re not just starting a new job with new tasks and responsibilities you are entering a well established community or social group, almost like a tribe.
And even if they haven’t got them written down, they will have norms and rules they follow.
And no one will probably be able to tell you them.
Why?
Because they may not know them either or that they even exist. Honestly, humans are complicated and messy. Yet, they do exist, they are very real (if this stuff interest you, get your hands on Games People Play by Eric Berne, that’s a link to Amazon), and being the new person it can be uncertain times ahead when you are trying to follow guidelines and rules you don’t know.
And what feelings come with uncertainty? Nervousness, doubt and a lack of security.
Take heart – you will learn these ‘rules’ in time, and yes, you will become part of the community/tribe and you will eventually have your say at writing the new ‘Unspoken Rules Guidebook’ for your workplace. Unless you leave of course.
But say you notice things happening that shouldn’t be, then what?
What if you witness bad practices? People only working when a boss is around? People bitching about others? People covering mistakes? People deliberately sabotaging the work of another?
If you decide to say something, will you become the outcast?
What then?
What? You want my advice? Okay…
If you witness bad practice (against company policy, guidelines, rules) and it has the potential to harm others, don’t you have a duty here? I’m thinking about care homes, and I’m thinking about bad practice and nobody speaking up. Obviously there are too many unknowns here, seek help. Union? Anonymous helplines? HR?
The rest? The human stuff like back stabbing, slackers, people taking the urine, well, for what is worth, every workplace is different and of course it depends on your values on what you will do or not.
I have worked with people who’s only goal in a team was create to havoc: they ‘waltzed’ into their new role and assumed (no demanded) respect, authority and trust immediately – they never lasted in the job long, as they haven’t learnt that they are in a ‘new role’ as the new person and like all social groups (they have to earn it first).
And that takes time. And these same people will hate every new place until they learn this.
Yet it can be accelerated.
How?
Here’s a few tips:
- You can prepare yourself mentally of how you want to be in your new role…you can think about your attitude, image, and communication skills. Yet, you obviously can’t prepare others. Show up as the person you said you were on your application, they are in there, right?
- Be who you are. You were hired on the value you can bring. Don’t forget that.
- If you were to start a new role pretending (because you want people to like and love you) you will probably not be able to maintain that behaviour very long. Build your confidence. There’s a wee free confidence course here.
- Read and understand more on social groups, the way groups form and social roles – you’ll learn about you and it’s a skill for life that one.
- Time – even a new member of staff starting work (to the existing staff) is change and not a lot of people like change. It’s not personal.
- You are fresh remember. Like a new born baby you are not clouded or have any preconceived notions or ideas. So allow time to get to know everyone, make up your own mind instead of listening to the ‘this is what they are like’ stories from other people.
- Being the newbie – just because the label is on you, it doesn’t mean to say you have to shut up and go along with everything. Own who you are. And you’re smart, do this in a way of how you would like to be treated.
- Praise Yourself – this may seem a little wacko, but here’s what I mean – you may be a person that needs to hear you are doing a good job – you need it. However, you may not get it in your new workplace. I’m not saying you need all the compliments under the sun, you just need to know if what you are doing is the right thing. Your new workplace might not be like that…one of unspoken ‘rules’ of the group might be ‘we just get on with it’. Learn how to compliment yourself – don’t wait for the external world to tell you.
- If you’re nervous, it will pass. As you are entering a new situation you may feel uncomfortable, it’s not just a new job its: new people, policies, environment, politics, community – find your flow. A good team will help with your transition (and yes there may be the odd bugger who does nothing to help you ) each moment will be come easier.
- Ask for support and supervision. What if they don’t offer it? Suggest it?. In fact (it’s probably too late), it’s a very good interview question.
Your goal is to work effectively with other people, some you will find this easy with, others not so well. As long as the service and role you are carrying out is not affected then fine.
If you make a mistake – admit to it. Easier than said than done? Back to the staff team, if they are supportive they will accept the error and you can move on from it.
Learn about emotional intelligence and enhanced communication skills. There are some people that could not give a rats tail about how their behaviour effects others (oh and there are some that are the emotional baggage handlers) strike your balance.
Here’s a weird thing,
In my experience working with career changers most people love the first two weeks to a month. Its new, exciting, challenging, relationships and bonds are being formed all over the place.
Then when this time has passed people settle and they become more comfortable, only then can see faults and areas of the new job they are not happy with.
You’re worried about being seen in the best light? See all those other people around you? They too are being on their best behaviour for you.
This is the test. The first stage is a ‘honeymoon’ period, if there is one tip I could give you (right now) for this time it would be this, the real rewards come when you have all the information. Starting a new job is fantastic but nothing compared to the rewards an effective working team can achieve.
Be you, be calm, listen, be open, be aware all new experiences, take time to learn.
You’ve got this.
And should you ever need it:
Yeah, I know it may be a bit late because the horse has bolted, but if you ever do need help to work out what you should be getting paid for, I’d love to help you figure it out, maybe not today, but remember it’s here if you need it some time down the line.
Love.
Dawn
Thank you for the great reassuring article I commence a new job tomorrow which also includes a shift up in title and position . it is amazing how the niggling self doubts can share over a fantastic opportunity to progress and develop. Your parting comment struck home with me , thank you again , Phil
Thanks. It’s encouraging.
Thanks for the great article. It has given me some things to think about before I start. Definitely a big help reading this, can’t thank you enough.
Emma
Hiya Emma,
You are most welcome, and thank you for leaving a wee comment.
Lots of love, Dawn
Thank you very much for such a great article. I’ve started in my new job last week and as the Sunday night worry is kicking in this has been a great read! Without wishing the days away I can’t wait for the days when I’m ‘part of the furniture’ in my new teams but this has reassured me that day will come!
Thank you again and good luck to everyone else beginning pastures new that have stumbled upon this.
Kirstie
your reply is exactly how I feel now, being my 2nd Monday, and this article really helped a lot.
I too am starting my second Monday and I feel exactly the same as you did. Thanks for your comments. They let me know that what I’m feeling is not out of the ordinary. Also, thanks to Author. This article has been very reassuring and is what I needed right now.
I’m about to go into my second Monday and feel reassured that I’m not the only person who has felt like this.
I also wish I was a couple of months down the line so I could feel of use to my team rather than just a hindrance, asking questions all the time and still not having a clue.
I notice your original post is now almost 9 months old – how has everyone gotten on?
Lots of good advice, thanks! I always tend to flashback to times when Ive been new and totally overwhelmed in new roles. Sitting in a desk not knowing what to do next and not having anyone around to ask – and being afraid that Im not doing something I should be. There can be such a wide range of experiences its so hard to know what to prepare for!
Hey Serena, thank you for stopping by and leaving a wee comment. It does take time to settle in, huh? Dawn xxx
Hi there, fantastic read i suffer with SAD so this has really helped with my motivation to do well :) thank you x
Hey Joy, thank you for stopping byt and leaving a comment, Dawn x
Thank you, this article was just what I needed to read. I start a new job tomorrow and am a little nervous. The role I just left was in the most supportive team I had ever been a part of and I did my job well. Slight
Y terrified at being the new guy but also excited and hopeful. Good luck to everyone :)
Congrats on the new job Ferdi! I hope you had an amazing first day. Best of luck, Dawn xxx
An excellent article. Three weeks into a new job, and dreading each day and all of the uncertainties it brings. This article has put things into perspective a little, and enabled me to understand why I feel so alien in this new situation.
Thank you
Sarah, it can be a challenging experience — give yourself time. Become the observer. Oh, and breathe. I suggest having lots of chats with people who know you well outside work too. Hope it all settles for you. Lots of love. Dawn x
Oh thank you so much for this! I started a job about 5 weeks ago and still feel like I don’t fit in. Most of everyone at my new job has known eachother for 15+ years, so it’s very hard to adjust…. I was forced out of my last job because of downsizing, so this new position isn’t exactly something I changed to on my own terms. AND, not to mention, it’s a new position that they created just for me. Odds are totally against me, but I will do my best! Thank you for making me feel a little bit better about my situation. Ha ha! :)
Thankyou so much for this article! just started my new job today and im feeling nothing but worry and stress about not getting to grips with all the new things I have to learn and also not knowing what to do on my own yet! but this has really helped.
That was A Great article …. I start A new Job in A week or two Nerveous,I worked at a Hilton for 14 yrs . got let go. I am now feeling lot better after reading and printing this up. thanks
Hi Dawn, a million thanks to you for this reassuring article. I’m starting a new job on Monday and its been a year since I’ve had a job. Its overwhelming and I usually get extremely anxious to the point of getting panic attacks before work. But what reassured me was the fact that its normal and I’m certainly not alone. Or different. This article was uplifting and I will keep all of it in mind while I struggle as a newbie with SAD. It will carry me through and I get the feeling I will be allright in the end. You are a star thank you again.
This is a great article – thank you! I have recently started a new job in a new city and this advice has made me realise, I need to relax a little. Thanks!
I’m starting a new job tomorrow and this is quite useful – thank you so much. Even though I’m quite experienced sometimes you just need to hear (or read) these things for reassurance.
Thank you very much :)
Dan
Thanks for the helpful tips! I’m about to start a new job beginning tomorrow and this will clearly help me out to get settled in with new people and new environment :)
Once again thank you!
You’re welcome Anwar,
I hope your first day was a great one. Dawn
Thank you for this informative post. I really appreciate your thoughts about the work environment. Now I know what to do for my third day of working at retail. New job. New environment. New people. New experiences. I just hope I would do well for the third day to catch up and impress my boss / coworkers.
Thanks for the article. Really helped. Starting a new job tomorrow and I’ve got this self-doubt and crippling fear of failure. Went back to read the job description and person spec looking for my pit-fall.
Your article rested my fears; not that I don’t still feel them, but I know my feelings are normal.
Will face tomorrow with confidence and be myself.
Thanks Dawn
Thank you Miss Dawn for this article. It’s been almost 8 weeks into my new job and I am feeling overwhelmed still. But it’s good to know it is normal. I don’t know if I will ever fit in to this new environment but I will keep doing my best. And thanks for other comments .. It helps me feel like I am not alone in being stressed out.
hi, i am 6 weeks into a new job and having a crisis of confidence so this really helped. i am in one of those workplaces where they “just get on with it” and i am not getting the feedback I am used to from my previous role, where I worked with more females. now the gender bias is the other way and i feel really self-conscious about whether i can thrive in my new workplace. but this has reassured me that i need to breathe, and remember that this steep learning curve won’t always be so. it’s been a while since i started a new job in a new company and new industry, and sometimes i doubt my skills. i am scared i am doing things all wrong and that people are too polite to say. i like what you said about praising yourself, because i sense I need to show a bit of kindness to myself at the moment.
Thank you so much for this article. I just started a new job last week and your advice has made me feel a lot better.
Oh, my thanks to this article instead of worrying on my new job it turns to excitement, it really helps! I kept thinking that if it is a normal feeling and yes now I am confident facing a new challenge.
Thanks, you’ve given me alot to think about whilst helping me for today :)
Thank you so much miss Dawn for this informative and helpful article. I started a new job in a new company last week and I still feel a little bit out of place and overwhelmed…but your article has been of help and I feel much better now knowing that I’m
Thank you for the article…This is my 2nd week at new organisation. I should have read this article before joining ;) anyways doesn’t matter,it’s never late. I think the only problem I have right now is my Confidence level….Hope as time passes and i become familiar with the process here I’ll get comfortable.
Very helpful, I went back to work after sickness under a new job roll. I felt very out of place. This had encouraged me. It was only 2 weeks into the job. I was told I wasn’t doing so well . But I think I was doing okay. So much to learn, sometimes management expect to much.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE this article.
I have had a crisis of confidence over the last year and have left after a day and even just not turned up for fear of the unexpected.
Thank you so much for making me feel so reassured for my start on Thursday.
I get really nervous about lunchtimes- do I HAVE to sit with people? Or is it okay to go for a walk by myself? I like the alone time.
Anyway, thank you for making me feel so reassured.
Olivia
Glad to help Olivia.
Have a brilliant day on Thursday (and those to come).
And thank you for your words. Loving your blog: http://www.thelondonladybird.co.uk/

Thanks for this great article. I am in a new position and one where I am now a Supervisor and I’m not sure I like it. Been here going on my fourth week and I feel so isolated, nervous, and missing my old job. I thought this is what I wanted but now I’m not so sure. How do you decide and when? Part of me wants to go back to my old job (which is still available) but then I feel like I would be a failure. But I just don’t know if this is a good fit for me. I dread coming to work right now and that is such an uncomfortable feeling. I want it to get better but so far it hasn’t. Any advice? Thanks.
Hi Vicky,
I remember in my last employment going for an interview for a new role. I loved my then job, but the new one meant delivering more training, bigger non-profit, more autonomy, more pennies, more opportunity to deliver training to a wider group. I got the job, but turned it down – eventually. I thought the new one was what I wanted. But (thankfully had a great boss) I managed to speak through with him what was missing in the current one. Why am I telling you this? 1. It’s okay to change your mind. 2. Can you speak with old company and explain just what you wrote above? 3. What were the reasons you wanted to leave? Do you think they can happen in your old role? You did make the decision to go, so what was the deciding factor? 3. What do you want to ‘get better’ specifically? Can you be a leader in that? 4. ‘Going back’ and ‘failure’ – it’s not true. That place I mentioned above had a couple of people who left and came back, why, because they knew it was better for them. Okay, we did ask for their leaving presents back ;-) Quit shaming yourself, you’re human. 5. On no 4, it’s okay to try new things, it’s okay not to like them, it’s okay to say, ‘Whoops, that wasn’t the best decision’, it doesn’t mean you’ve failed, it means you maybe worked out what you do want. 6. Have you given it enough time? Did you dread your old position? What is the uncomfortable feeling. What thought do you keep coming back to about what to do? Here’s what I suggest, talk to old place. Just do it. You have nothing to lose. There is a settling period, you and I both know that. Set a time? Answer your comment, ‘part of me wants to go back’ – which part? I wish you all the best. xxxx
Thank you so much for this article. I just finished my second week on the new job and I am feeling extremely overwhelmed, anxious, insecure, and vulnerable. I can’t help thinking that my boss regrets his decision to hire me – that he could have found some better qualified, someone who could just “jump right in”, etc. Deep down, I know that I am being my own worst enemy and that my coworkers (and probably boss) aren’t expecting even a fraction of what I’m expecting from myself at this point. This article, and especially comments, are extremely comforting. Thanks to all and hopefully this weekend’s Sunday night anxiety will be A bit less. :)
Hi how’s it going ?? Form xmass I’ve tried a couple of new job and and starting another new job tomorrow and it’s worrying I’ve pack a job in at the first tea break I’ve done it all lol but I’ve work 7 and a half years for my last company and now and going to be trained as a welder, have to say reading this is the best thing I’ve ever done I’ve felt it all but now I’m going to give this job every thing I’ve got and take the few months to settle in and get to know people so thank you
Thanks for stopping by Seamus!
Enjoy your days, new position and learning curve. All the best with it all. Dawn x
Thanks for the article. I feel better about my situation. It’s hard adjusting to a new job. What makes it worse is that it’s loud where I work, so it’s hard to hear everything they tell me. I felt so dumb today. I have a low self-esteem and a panic disorder. I cried when I got home. I feel like I’m a burden to them. :/ A few times she gave me this look like I was an idiot. I’m scared to go back tomorrow, but I’m going to grin and bare it. The hard part for me is not the actual job, but being the new addition to the company. I hate being the new girl. I’m not that comfortable around a lot of the people there. I know things will probably get better, but it’s difficult to cope in the meantime.
Starting a new job tomorrow, have all the nerves and confidence questions that come after rocking the interview, why did they hire me afterall? Will I be able to do the job? This article really helped me put it in perspective. Thank you for that and for all the comments of people going through the same. Its been five years since I started a new job, so its been a while since I’ve felt these feelings. I am sure its a good thing for me to go through, very humbling.
Thanks for this great article. I have recently started a new job say 6 weeks ago. And still getting the grips of it. I feel like my confidence level has dropped because everything is new, it is not an excisisting role it was partly from someone else that has now left the company. So basically I am left on my own to fetch it. It is an exciting and growing company so their is a lot to do, but they sometimes have a structural issue that they don’t consider, my team captain as they call is also new (only been there for 3 weeks). I sometimes feel my boss expects a lot and too much in a short period of time, everything takes longer as I am new and just feel kinda that nobody has shown me ropes. I don’t need someone to hold my hand through everything but at least to show me the basic knowhows would be a great, even though there is nobody that does that or takes the time to do it. Basically I gotta invent it all. Sorry I am rambling all but you’re article made me see that it is completely normal to feel like this and that it takes time to get where I want to be. So thank you.
I just started a new job. I’m on day two. Day one was overwhelmimg and I passed out when I got home. Day two was okay until the afternoon and all I’m doing is doubting myself and the company. My trainer is great and my boss’ boss is great. My boss refered to herself as a b*tch. This is intimidating and I don’t know how to be her friend or on her side. She oversees seven people. I’ve decided to wait it out and lookforward to Saturday when I can sleep in. Thanks for the article some of my doubt’s are gone.
I’m in my sixth week, after a 15 year career in another position and industry that I was really good at. I’m in a new industry and new position and I’m like an infant trying to ramp up to the new role and trying to stay strong. It can be challenging being the newbie and your article was very helpful. I have a long way to go and keeping my head up. Thank you.
Thank you for this article im in the first week of my job and you described all my feelings all in one page. I do feel anxious to go to work everyday but I look back onto this article and feel ok
Hey Lee,
I hope it’s settling for you. Love, Dawn.
Hi,
Any help is greatly appreciated – regarding what to do. I noticed that the circumstances aren’t the same because what if your gut told you shouldn’t take it and you took it anyway? I didn’t know what to do because I hated last job and wasn’t ready to move (I have a serious long term relationship here) and deal with the stress of moving across country, but it’s probably what I should’ve done. This job pays very well, and better than old one (where I had a toxic boss / environment, worked a lot more overtime and didnt enjoy the work etc) it is better aligned with what i want to do, and it allows me to live in expensive city where my BF lives. I realized recently when traveling and even before taking this that I dont want to live in this large, expensive and very cold city though. I promised myself last year was my last winter before taking this job. My boyfriend loves it here and no plans on moving, so it will probably not work out. I took the job when pressured by recruiter and without much luck finding jobs in my field (this job isn’t at all what I want to do but has more transferable skills compared to last job I think). I’m not sure if i should give it a few months and move back home (which looks bad on resume since I haven’t had too many long term jobs or jobs over 2 – 3 years) or if i should give it up now while i can still get out of my lease (which i can’t do in winter a few months from now.). I think i tried to convince myself that i would like it but truthfully i dont find this work tobe very fulfilling either. The one plus is that it pays well, and maybe i could go to school to switch fields. The downfall is that I feel that it is just as unfullfilling and unenjoyable as last job!
Hey you,
This part “what if your gut told you shouldn’t take it and you took it anyway” – is where it began. Can I clarify, your last job you hated, toxic boss, environment, too many working hours and the one you took is more aligned to you, uses your skills, but not as much as you would like, it pays well which – if you stay – will give you more opportunities, as in you could pay for a retrain. But you only took it to move where your partner is located, you don’t like the city, it’s too expensive and you don’t think the relationship will work anyway?
My most truthful answer: I don’t know what you should do. But, I would recommend taking some time to really look at what’s important and what’s a priority in your life. Also, I wonder if you do know what to do, but can’t come to making the decision that you know is the one to make.
On the ‘looks bad on a resume’ – personally I don’t think that is a problem – not if you can take ownership. Many people move and take roles so that they can end a long-distance relationships. If it doesn’t work out then it’s got nothing to do with the role, it was the relationship, and the unknowns – how could you know you wouldn’t like the city? If I were a hiring employer and read that you had the confidence, courage, determination, self-starting, risk (in a good way) taking attitude to give things a try then I would see that is a plus to my organisation. But of course, that will all depend on whether you can reframe your story of ‘I tried and it didn’t work, and it makes me look a little silly story’ to ‘I gave it my best shot, it didn’t work, but it made me very clear on my own life priorities and what I can and want from work and my life’.
When we have to ‘try and convince ourselves’ into anything, we are usually not making the truest decision. If it feels right (feelings are the best guide we’ve got), it doesn’t need a try or convince.
Take some time. Get some space. Start writing, sorry, lists. Pros and Cons. Be honest with yourself. Notice how you feel. Also, what’s a priority for you? Location? Environment? Skills used? Retraining? Switching careers?
Can I recommend you download the Core Values Workbook. It will help clarify what’s important. https://dawnbarclay.com/core-values
Oh, speak to someone who isn’t emotionally invested in your decision.
I hope that helps. Lots of love. Dawn
Great article!
I have recently started a new job in a new company and a completely new industry than what I’m used to. I was at my last company for 7 years.
Going from knowing absolutely everything in my last job to knowing nothing in the new job was debilitating. The 1st day was overwhelming. At the end of the day I just wanted to curl into a ball and die. 2nd day was a little better but still wasn’t great. I’m about to start day 3 and hoping it will be better again.
The 1st day I wanted to grab my car keys at lunch and drive away forever. I’m going to stick it out until the weekend.
It’s comforting knowing this feeling is normal.
Thanks for this article, what a great read i just started a new job in a very politicize company. but this has given me courage in where i should put my stand!
It is so nice to know all my feelings are normal and I am not alone! I just completed my 1st week in a brand new job, I was at my last job for 9 years and I knew everything! But I had to leave due to them cutting my hours. This job I obviously know nothing yet and it’s awful, im completely lost! And very scared! I have managed to pick up a few things this week and iv been shadowing two different people but I know eventually I will be on my own as I have been told this will be the case when I’m confident to be left alone, it’s scary and I keep thinking il never be able to do it, I keep asking the others how long it took them to grasp it but I don’t think I should set a goal by them, I think I should just take it one step at a time and just tell them when I’m ready to do that, not push myself so hard! I’m just hoping I keep strong and power through it, surely it can only get easier?!
Thanks for the read. I started a new job at a law office about 2 months ago, I came from a call center. Just when I think I’m doing a good job at things, some email comes through about “issues still arising” or “concerns the other girls have”. I am feeling defeated. We have 4 offices so my boss is only at mine maybe 1 or 2 times a month. People say things to me to “help” me then I correct it but then I still get an email from my boss about it. I dont think at least 2 of the girls like me as I always try to be friendly yet they seem annoyed when I try to relate or get to know them…I hate just sitting at my desk all day feeling like everything I do is going back to my boss and even if the situation was handled no one has my back so to speak. I feel like I give everyone a chance but I have the feeling that the they don’t like me and just don’t care about me as a person or my intelligence. I believe they think I am stupid, really. It hurts because I came from a job that I was very well liked, knew like the back of my hand and looked out for others….I just don’t know what to do to prove myself. Everytime I ask a question, later on it’s thrown in my face later like I’m doing a bad job, making me not want to ask anything. Since I’m the newbie I guess that’s just the way it is…
Thanks for the tips. I’m fresh out of college and starting a new job. I just would like to know if I feel like I’m doubting my skills what should I do to overcome the stress and nervousness. Thanks again
