New job nerves!

[Jellycustard]

I start my new job on Monday and I'm so nervous. I'm telling myself that of course it will all be okay but Imposter syndrome has definitely set in: that I won't be capable and that I've somehow lied in my interview and shouldn't have got the job or that I was a last resort!
I'm sure most relate to how I feel. It's the uncertainty, that sinking, heavy feeling in your stomach - where do I go, where do I sit, what if no one likes me, when's lunch!? The first day at school is definitely easier than this, I don't think there was any stress or worry back then .
I'm now even worrying that I might have to work from home at some point, which I've never had to do so far!
A wee hand hold would be nice!
Thanks

Perfectly normal - you'll be fine!
Do you have your plan for Monday morning? clothes, how to get there, timings? Control what you can, and the rest will sort itself out.

Offering a hand to hold.

I'm in the same position. I was looking forward to it, but now the imposter syndrome is kicking in.

How has your first month gone @Jellycustard?

Really well thanks!!! Just shows once you're in, it's really fine for 9/10 of us. Still a lot to learn but taking it in my stride. There's another newbie and a couple more due to join our office so we won't be new for long. The wfh won't be happening due to restrictions ending, so that's a bit of a relief - i can pester away with my questions lol. The days are flying in and I'm enjoying it, hoping to do some qualifications in this field moving forward!

I hope this update helps anyone else in this situation - just go in, be yourself and do your best!

Thats gréât news @Jellycustard , i start a new job in a month and feeling a little nervous so it’s great to hear a reassuring story!

I've just seen your thread @Rainydays55! I know you'll still worry and over think it but believe me after a few weeks you'll be wondering why you panicked so much. I think everyone feels this way but some of us aren't as good at hiding it! Good luck! x

Thank you for your kind words @Jellycustard 😄
