Don't worry, Eve. Remember, everyone is good at different things. Personally, I'm not great with figures, but dealing with people I've never met before is a breeze. Some of my colleagues are the opposite.

Being new, you're understandably focusing on the bits of knowledge this colleague has. But that's all it is. Bits of knowledge.

It sounds to me like the role is more about character.

They probably wanted someone determined, hard-working, diligent, adaptable, intelligent, great at communication, dynamic etc.

That describes you!

It's easy for me to talk. I would be going through the same emotions as you are, I'm sure.

I think you would say to me; There's no need to feel intimidated by these people, junior or senior. You're every bit as good as they are. Hold your head up high. You can do this!

Big hugs.
