have u ever been afraid to start a new job?

[Storm61115]

i got a new job and it's a big company and i am scared about starting. i have classmates there, but it's really scary changing fields. makes me scared just thinking about it. i was scared about my second interview too. i'm sure i can do the job. i'll have training for about 3 months. hope everything goes good. orientation is the 20th.

I get the worse anxiety when starting a new job or anything new for that matter. I never understood why though. It's almost like stage fright. It's crazy. Good post.

Afraid to start nah.  No one is 100% ready for any job they start on day one.  I'm more afraid of not getting a job that I was seeking.  I'm the type of person that likes to create buffers.  If i have a main job I set myself up to have a secondary job (Even if it's 6-10 hours on a weekend) just in case I lose the main job.  I've been with out work before, and it ROYALLY sucked.  Especially when no one wants offer any help.  That worries me more than anything a new job could throw at a person.  =-P

Ya, several times.starting on a new job can be tough because you don't know what's going to happen.But after several days in' everything usually goes well!

  congratulations on your new job. every body gets a little nervous when they start a new endeavor. you must be qualified or the company would not have selected you for the position. just go in with the confidence and attitude that you will succeed and you will. good luck and have a great day!!!!!

I get scared whenever I do anything new. I hate change!! But we all must be out of our comfort zone at least once in awhile. It's good for us to learn new things and to have new experiences. Just try to have self confidence and the rest will work itself out. Good luck and congratulations on your new job.

   A much better question would be....have you ever not been afraid to start a new job?   

[dreamyxo]

Never been scared to start a job mostly it's been glad because I needed the job.

[Storm61115]

yeah i am still scared. but now they cant get ahold of people they need to get a hold of to verify my previously employment so if they cant then my classes will be pushed back another month. i need this job and idk whats going to happen with it.

I'm always a little apprehensive when I'm about to start a new job, but once I actually start work I'm fine. I always go in with a confident attitude, and that helps.

new jobs are exciting and intimidating!
especially when you're walking into a tight knit staff
who love fresh meat..........

you'll be fine!

i get really nervous about applying and getting interviews for jobs O.o i think that's a big reason why i'm still employed with the same companies even though i don't make squat
