Tips for starting a new job

So I recently got offered a job in my dream industry to work in. I‘m so excited and start on the 6th January. Despite being excited I am quite anxious as in the past I‘ve noticed I struggle with change. There will be lots of change in my new role from new colleagues, shifts instead of doing a 9-5, being customer facing instead of working in an office, working weekends and wearing a uniform and having a bigger commute until I can move closer when my tenancy ends on my current place.Despite all this change I’m feel mostly positive and I’m so proud of myself for landing this position. I just wanted to see if anyone had any tips on what helped them adjust to a job change or a similar big change for themselves as I don’t want my anxiety over change cloud my enthusiasm and passion for the job.

  • Congrats!!

    I would say be prepared to make mistakes, and be ready to forgive yourself for making those mistakes. Everyone in the office will have also made mistakes early on, and I'm sure they'll be willing to forgive you too. Remember that everyone is human: yourself, colleagues, and customers.

  • Thank you so much. And I have a 3 week training course which is definitely making me feel more relaxed knowing I have a set adjustment period. I‘m genuinely so excited but it’s going to be a big change so just got to make sure I’m being patient with myself.
