Sometimes it takes a few tries to get it right. If you screw up, you screw up. Worrying won't change that. Going in thinking the worst is going to make it tougher though, so try to think positive.

It's OK to be nervous. Everyone is. It's always ok to have feelings about things. It's not OK to let those feelings affect your behavior though. Try to focus on other things so you're not dwelling on fear.
Identify why the other jobs did not work out. Did you match your personality & skills to the job? Is there anything you could do better next time?
Once you're hired, look around and identify a few good workers. Watch them and use them as role models. You need good work ethic, people skills, and ability to put the job's needs before your own.
Best of luck to you!

When you begin working for a new organisation, it is entirely expected and desired that you ask questions, question what you think you should do, or do naturally and look to try and pick up the culture and working methods of the place. - If you smile a lot, and ask a lot of questions from other people this will help. It will also help you to manage your nerves, asking questions and interacting does this. (a bit like when people fiddle when they are nervous.) You have done this job before, never stop telling yourself this. - That means that you know how to do it and you know how to get on with people. - At this time of the year, and especially on a saturday, people you work with, will be so busy and so pleased to have an extra pair of willing hands on board, that they will hardly notice the way you are feeling or any mistakes you might make. - Keep reminding yourself that this is normal and you know how to do this job. - By Monday, you'll be wondering why you worried. I promise. Remember: it is ok to feel this way right now. Tell yourself, you are you, and you can do this and get on with other people. You'll be fine, (its the people who dont have this reaction that have problems!) Enjoy tomorrow.

fear, what do you fear, like what is going to happen if a job doesn't work out, I am unclear.
There will always be other jobs to try, you need to find the right job.
I was once in a stage of my life that I lost a lot of jobs, then I found my passioin. Do you think I stayed in one job, hell no, I've have another 15 jobs since figuring out what I am best at. At age 40 I have had 39 jobs in my lifetime.
Just live life and stop worrying, things always work out

I am a nurse who has been on multiple interview almost a professional interviewer and have had multiple jobs.
Always remember don't take out comes personal.
Many times you are in compatition with capitalism and not your talents or gifts.
be mindfull that everyone who starts a new job feels just as you do, and they only appear to be more confident.
be easy on yourself and realise that the new coworker have been there longer than you and have had to under go the beginning time of fear just as you must do to become confident and familiar with all the new things and people.
Then In your minds eye VISION yourself working at that job in the future confidently and being a intricate part of it's process. Keep reflecting on that image.

Relax. Take your time and be very thorough. If you're unsure of something then make sure you ask somebody for help.
There is always some apprehensions when you start a new job thats natural. Try to be calm and eventually you'll learn the ropes and your confidence will be up. Don't dwell on things from the past, but learn from your mistakes.

It's always difficult to start a new job. Keep in mind that it is an opportunity to start fresh. Even if your last job didn't work out, chances are that no one at your new work-place knows what circumstances lead up to you leaving your old job. It's a chance to wipe the slate clean. If you go into a new job with the assumption that it isn't going to work out, it probably won't. So give yourself credit. If you know you can do the job, don't sweat it based on past experiences. Good Luck!

Wow! that can be a problem, but don't give up.
Most employers are happy to have an employee that is able to learn and willing to work, and of course willing to follow the companies policies and procedures.
Go into any new job with a positive attitude and the confidence that you are going to do the best job you can are capable of doing.
Good luck.

Think positively, go into the new job with a good outlook. Try your best at what your doing, and make a show of it too. If your not good at one thing, you will get better. Just keep trying your best, go at of your way to do things for other employees, but don't let them walk on you.

Since we have no idea why they didn't work out I guess you will keep going until you find a job that you don't screw up at
