New job tomorrow and I'm very nervous

I start in a administration team tomorrow and I'm shaking with nerves
I have had bad jobs before and bad bosses
I need the money, I need to succeed but I feel like an imposter
There is so much catastrophes in my head that could go wrong and I've been in my own head worrying for years
Any tips on overcoming the nerves?

I started a new job last week so know exactly how you're feeling, the nerves just show you care. A few tips:

  • prepare what to say when people ask where you worked before
  • smile lots
  • ask questions
  • write everything down
  • be positive about everything
  • sometimes there's a bit of waiting around on your first day, use the time to read as much as you can find on procedures, policies etc.

Best of luck, you will be fine! They picked you because they think you're the best fit.

Sorry if that all sounds a bit patronising, it just helped me to order my thoughts to have a basic list.

They gave you the job because they thought you’ll be great at it. Believe in yourself like! (And bring a notebook for writing down everything!)

Good luck!

That's exactly wat I thought. U were given the job for a reason. Well done u. Try not to.over think.it. Take plenty of water to kerp hydrated, a mug and a nice lunch. Comfortable shoes a must. Good luck. Hand hold

@Tobytea I'm starting a new admin job tomorrow too and I'm petrified!!!

Absolutely no reason to be worried about it but I am, my brain is fizzing with what if's...!

Good luck, I'm sure we'll both be fine once we're there 🤞

I'm also starting a new job tomorrow. Hopefully we will all have a good 1st day tomorrow.

Why do you feel like an imposter? (Sure your not)
