Answer 1

R-E-L-A-X!! You are getting yourself too worked up. Think positive. You got hired for a reason...because they feel that you will do a good job and have what it takes to work there. Of course any new job is a bit scary at first, but you will get the hang of things within a couple weeks. Don't give up if you don't like it right away either. On my first day at my current job, I thought to myself, "Crap. What have I gotten myself into! I shouldn't have quit my last job." But, I'm still there today and enjoy it now. You should get along with your co-workers fine...unless you are a real opinionated jerk or something! There's always gonna be at least 1 person who you dislike at work, but it doens't mean you can't get along. And hey, if it really sucks working there you can always quit. Nothing is set in stone. So just give it your all and smile and be nice to everyone and they will help you along the way while you get settled into your position. Good Luck. And I've found that even if in my head I don't feel confident, at least try to project it! It works.
