New Job

I started a new job last week and it's so strange being new at something again. 

This is my fourth year working at TK Maxx now and I've gotten so comfortable there. I know how to do everything I need to without even thinking about it and I've learnt to do things that I don't really need to know. 

The point is I always say to the new staff at TK Maxx "I started at Christmas too so I know how you feel, comes to me if you need any help" and I always thought I was being honest but I've realised it probably was honest three years ago but it hasn't been since! I had actually forgotten what it's like to be new in a job and not know what you should be doing, what the expectations are, how to do the things you should be doing, where things are and who the other staff are. I find it really daunting starting a new job (probably because it's only my second job) and I imagine a lot of people can relate to what I'm saying. 

Anyway, I'm actually finding it really exciting and I'm loving being a new member of staff at the minute and being trained! It's frustrating having to ask a lot of questions but I'm enjoying learning something new and it's really nice to feel like I'm achieving new things again. 

I never thought I'd be proud of answering a phone or serving a customer again bit apparently I am! (How sad!)


Have you started a new job recently?
