I Hate to Whine

I've changed jobs many times, and I know the stress of a new start. I have another one to start in 3 weeks.

Just remember why you got the job. It was a combination of experience, skills and the qualities they saw in you when they talked to you. You don't have to be an exact match, but someone who will try to adapt.

You need to come home each day and debrief onto a pad the important things that you learned and the things you need to chase up. Don't be afraid to ask twice (or in my case 4,5,6... times, ECT was a bitch). Sometimes I do spend extra time until I have the processes straight. I must admit I do, and always have used a bit of elevated mood to get through work, that's how the bp first became apparent. You have to believe that even if you can not do it as perfectly as you would wish, that you are doing a job that you can bring your skills and unique abilities to. Start from there.

Like Fizzio said, you've gotten the job because of the experience, and skills that you brought to the table, Fizzio had a great idea there, about the tablet.. Take some chill time today, just blank the mind, and relax as much as you can.. Your going to do fine, I have faith in that. Tomorrow evening you can tell us what a wonderful job you've done.

I hope everything goes well for you. We will all be rooting you on. Everyone here knows you will put your best foot forward and that you will make it. You might feel a bit anxious but cut yourself some slack. Please keep us all posted GOOD LUCK!
