I looked through all the forums and I couldn't find the right one that could help with my concerns so here I am and I hope there is someone out there that can relate or simply listen.
I'm a recent graduate with a BA in Social Work. I recently got a job offer to work for a market researching company that provides a variety of computer generated surveys. It's great pay for a newly graduate like myself. My stress comes to my lack of confidence and not being able to meet the expectation of this company. With this economy any employment is great but I still want to go into a job having some confidence that I'll be able to do my job. With this company I was able to impress them and gain confidence that I'll be able to accomplish the task. I didn't even think I did all that well during the interview. I got the offer the very same day and now I am so scared. I want to take the offer but at the same time I don't want to become a failure. How do I move forward and face such a challenge. |

Ask questions. Did you see the job description for your position? I would say it will probably take you three to six months to become comfortable in a new job. That has been my experience anyway.
So whatcha gonna buy with all the money??????

Hello Jennifer,
You will do well in this job...why don't you do the job on probation? And each day set yourself the tasks and goal oriented aims that are supportive to yourself within the job. I have faith in your ability to do well, Rhiannon

Go for it, Jenn1fer82. Anxiety will be there while you are learning what is expected of you. Even so, with dedication and perseverance, you should be just fine.
Congratulations on the job. |

To be a failure, means not even trying.....you and trying, you are even reaching out for more support
 You could check in with us each night the first week, and post in this very thread how it is going and more importantly how you are feeling......  We have your back

They offered you the job so they must be confident that you can do it.
They know that you are a new grad so they won't expect you to know everything or anywhere near everything, they will expect you to ask lots of questions and learn as you go along. They have faith in you, you should too. Good Luck. Splitz |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
