have u ever been afraid to start a new job?

[loulizlee]

I was always so nervous when I started a new job that I had butterflies, tremors, and all the other things that go with being nervous.  I just kept telling myself it will get better.  I also tried to remember to be nice and helpful to new people that came after me.  I knew they would appreciate it.

I just started a new job a few weeks ago. after not being in the workfield for 6 years i was a little scared but am ok now =)

Sure.  I don't know of anyone who hasn't been afraid to start a new job.  It's a new experience and initially you do not know what to expect.  That usually changes over time as you learn new skills you get confidence and the anxiety goes away.

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.

Yes , i have .  At a new job, you also have to meet new people. So its 2x as much work adjusting.

i dont have that problem anymore but i was allways nervous starting new jobs. meeting new people can be nerve wrecking because you never know how they are but its also exciting

Yes.  I've been afraid to start several new jobs.  You always wonder whether you'll get along with everyone there.  Sometimes I've had to work with some toxic people, but I have found that what goes around comes around.  Generally, all my jobs have worked out well.

I was working for a company in a smaller city and was transferred to a larger job in the largest city of the state. Starting work there was nothing to learning my around a new city. I wish i could go back to work but the Dr. won't release me. Oh well i try to stay busy at home. But sometimes drives me up the wall, and since i will be 70 pretty soon i am going to have to get used too it. But darn i liked working and meeting people.

I am always nervous when I start a new job.  Getting used to a new environment and the expectations of the job takes time.  Most of the time, things work out for the best.

I never be afraid I think it will be fun

I always hate starting a new job. I am very frustrated where I am so am searching for something. I am 56 and worked two different jobs. My last one has lasted 13 years so far.

[laurindat]

Yesss, I've always been nervous about starting anything new, even though I'm always looking for changes in my routine life. It's also scary being some place where you don't actually know anybody yet, or what to do.. I hate that feeling.

I hate starting a new job!!! I always feel so stupid when I don't know anything and I feel like I'm just getting in the way of people that know their job.
