New Job! Need Advise!

Chrysalis_Guy SG

Hi forummers,
Just hope to seek some comments from those who had similar experience as me. Tomorrow, I will be embarking on my second job of my life. Although I should be feeling excited, alas, it is not how I feel for the past few days.

I just feel so uncertain, with a tinge of nervousness..just don't know what to expect tomorrow..of the environment etc. Ironically, this job is something which I have looked forward to and successfully attained it.

What bothers me now is how come I am feeling the above uncertainty, even though I should feel excited? For the past few days, the nervousness and uncertainty just weighs in.

Anyone has the same experience as me before? And how do you try to overcome it?

Appreciate constructive advise..thanks..

It's rather common to feel that way. Think it's just the "unknown" that you're feeling nervous about.......

Just relax and do your best and I am sure after tomorrow you'll feel much better. It might take you a while to get used to the new environment but just take it one step at a time. You'll be fine!

Good luck and congratulations on your new job!!! Wink Very Happy

Perhaps you are stilll carrying the baggage of the unpleasantness of your previous job that you have left that you feel these things. While it's natural to feel excited and some anxiety coz you've so much expectation of it, try not to let that bog you down with pressure unnecessarily.

Tell yourself that you are going to have a brand new start. No matter what happens, you will try your best to put in your best effort to perform as best as you can and more importantly, you are gonna be HAPPY........

Try to relax.........

Hi Precious,
Your words really hit me right on. That's right, my previous job had some really nasty experience..such as disputes with some backstabbing colleagues etc..really worried history will repeat itself or even worse..

Not only that..due to disputes with my ex colleagues, I cant do my work well..and I am someone who takes it hard on myself when I cant reach my work expectations

relax lah, take things as it come
most companies have some office politics
someone who want power, control or just simply bossy

make friends with yr new immediate colleagues, try to learn more about the working of the company through them
all the best Cool

go with a neutral feeling.........dun have any expectations....

for the first few weeks, keep ur eyes and ears open and observe how the ppl work....take note who and wat u shd look out for......
make sure u are clear about ur job scope.....

and in any case, rber to cover backside.

Try to take life easier... And understand that sometimes even changing job won't solve your problem... And if it does...? It's no guarantee that you won't face new ones..
