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.

Why am i not excited about starting a new job. 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. Remember Why They Hired You. Practice what you preach.

In response to why you are looking for a new job. Is not one of them. 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.

Dont expect to know everything It might be tempting to carry the interview façade through to your first day even if youre secretly terrified but dont feel like you have to be excel at absolutely everything straight away. You put up with a job thats not what you expected. It isnt the answer to all problems its a job though.

Connecting with your future colleagues online is another idea to get you enthused about your new gig. Fortunately though its eminently fixable. So yes the fear of failing in a new job is real.

If you embrace your new position with positive confidence you will earn respect and dissolve some of the uncertainty that others may feel. You went through the interview process which likely wasnt a cake walk and you landed the job. The perfect time to create a good impression that will last well beyond the start-up period.

An inevitable aspect of the job search is not getting the job you hoped for. But in the first days of a new job. Future employers want to know you are truly interested in the work youll be doing and not just the paycheck youll receive every other week.
