Starting a new job
Is it just me, or when you start a new job, do you always feel utterly useless, incompetant and a bit of a fraud for being there?
Just finished my first week and all I feel is like a twat. Mmmm.

same here
I also just finished my first week
I ahd to keep asking people how to do things and wherethings go, and I was all quiet and shy, as I'm not very good at talking to people. I just felt silly
hopefully next week will be better :)
i always
feel like i did in exams at school where i look about and everyone looks really busy and intelligent...and i look like a fraud!
Ah, good to here it
if you see what I mean.
I hate not knowing people / things. I'm working in the biggest London uni campus and I spend 50% of my lunch break trying to find a cafe that I saw that morning...
*Of course I mean "hear" not here
I AM INCOMPETANT!
in a few weeks
time some other poor sod will start work there who doesent know what he is doing,and will look at you and think 'damn if only i was as skilled as that'
Seriously, both my co-workers
are like geniuses at the're job.
I ate feeling useless. Oh well, I've gotta hold on till the first pay day. That'll make me feel better.
for some
reason your situation is reminding me of tom hanks in 'big'....where he sits at that computer and doesent know what he is doing!
he felt better when his paycheck arrived : )
Maybe I'm GET IT ON
with the hottie from the Management board.
or
the office bike!
ah, i still feel like a twat in my job and i started on 7th june
i'm getting better - depending on the level of job you are in, it usually takes a good three months to settle in.. or six months if senior and to really get feet under the table etc... this is a fact.
Yes
but once you start doing proper work it gets worse. Apart from having internet access, obviously
I haven't DARED look at DiS
in my new job. One glance and I'll be hooked. Then no work will be done.
i can't access it at all which is fortunate
but i can now acess myspace again which is kinda dangerous... i am behaving tho which is a change because i like breaking rules.
I start a new job this week
I always feel more of a burden for the first week or two, having to be led by hand everywhere...
