While I know that for many people a new job can feel overwhelming at times and as a result maybe even leave you feeling incompetent for me its a clean slate.

Why am i not excited about starting a new job. You might not have prior experience working in that particular position or for the company and starting a new job is a significant life change. Retweet something like an Instagram photo or reach out on LinkedIn. Is not one of them.

You put up with a job thats not what you expected. Uncertainty throws people off balance and is the root of anxiety for those starting new jobs says Deborah Brown-Volkman an East Moriches New York career coach and author of How to Feel Great at Work Every Day Coach Yourself to a New Career and other titles. Maintain the boundaries that you have set and dont assume that others have not set their own personal boundaries even if they have not communicated them.

What freaks people out is the unknown she says. I am sorry you are not happy and congratulations on your new job. Another major mistake people make is they dont speak up when their new job is different from.

The perfect time to create a good impression that will last well beyond the start-up period. Its not always clear why you werent able to secure a position you felt fit your experience and skills perfectly. They may consider you a flight riskthe moment someone offers you more money off you go.

Knowing the reasons why you werent hired will help you better prepare for the remainder of your job search and obtain an exceptional position. I can only share with you what my living for 72 years has taught me. You might also try psyching yourself up by Googling the company and reading up on recent press.

Dont tell your interviewer I would like a pay raise or I dont think I am being compensated fairly at my current company. At the very least focusing on the day-to-day aspects of the job role instead of the fact that its your first day will distract you from the new job fear. Fortunately though its eminently fixable.
