I have not only switched jobs but also countries, so the job, the workplace, the culture, the community, regulations, people everything is completely different, I feel like an imposter who is not good enough for the job I worked really hard to get, thanks for the video, my anxiety feels validated.

Wonderful content. I have just moved to a new job after 21 yrs. my first week was overwhelming and I feel these are so helpful.

Feeling as you were in the old job, to enter the new job was an excellent tip. Thank you for this! It's very intimidating starting a new job... wish me luck! ❤

[@erinMfoley]

Good luck!!!!

[@Bluebell940]

@@erinMfoley thank you! It was all fine, I got through it. I think we tend to build it up more than it is, it's actually the least pressured day because you have the excuse of being new ❤️ i kept thinking about your tips in a few of your videos i watched yesterday, you really helped me. Thanks for sharing with us X

Glad it helped!

Oh wow. On point. Just like another writer. On my first week, it is a new field and terminology. I have really debilitating anxiety right now. Physical anxiety is so unpleasant. Your right we have other history where we became good at our job.

Spot on, thank you for offering up this advice, very grateful.

Thank you I’m a stay at home mom and my little one started pre-K this school year, I want to go back to work but anxiety is not letting me. I can apply this concept to other things in life not only at work. Thank you for your content its very helpful.

Thank you so much , I'm so glad I've found you! 🙏🏻

[@Goldgirl1978]

Part of the problem is all the job adverts and interviews these days - in Australia anyway - expect that you will be a fast learner. It’s ridiculous because it’s causing so many to have mental health issues over such unrealistic employer expectations.

You are an angel talking in my ears of all the good hope and clarity Thank 🙇

[@lisahernandez3917]

Fantastic advice! I needed this

[@saeeduchiha5537]

You know your thing very well!

This is interesting you’ve helped me to realize I’ve been in a parade of jobs that I didn’t feel confident in due to settling for quick money. To be honest most of my adult life I don’t feel I had authentic confidence in almost any job. So I can understand what that’s done to my psych and my personal life as a result. I wasn’t taught how to develop my skills in any one thing or have the stability to do so. I actually empathize with myself more.

Erin, you have great content I have been listening to you for months now, I recently got a new job last year in June and your content has been really helpful. I am so blessed to have come to know you. I will definitely book an appointment with you, the person whom I took over from was in the role for over 33 years and their institutional knowledge is highly respected. I have been feeling that i need to leave this job but listening to you has been a blessing to me. The brain explanation hits home.

I feel really anxious because I was the best profile that they could find for my position, but still they know (they told me) and I know it, it would be better to have a higher profile with better qualifications. (In my country it is really hard to find people specialized in some fields.) My job is in german and now Im trying to improve my skills in order to be the minimum of what they need for being good at this job while I'm trying to improve my German to the level that I can do what they expect from me. But there is no time because there is a deadline.
