Need Good vibes

I need your vibes and prayers. My new job is very daunting. I am coming in at a very busy time. They are understaffed because a coupleof us are new and one lady is having surgery. Yesterday I just wanted to cry. I am not sure what to do with someof the things that I get and the calls just keep coming in. It makes me question my abilitites and organizational skills. I am not a naturally methodic person so I need to establish a system. There are so many details to keep track of. I am planning campus visits and each one is different. It makes me wonder if my personality is suited to this job. But there are aspects of it I just love and I know that once I learn it, I can do it. Last night I was just about having a full blown anxiety attack. Please send confidence and peace of mind my way. I can do this. However, if I don't believe in myself, I will not be able to. Somehow my self confidence has deserted me. (PMS< depression?).

Thanks, KathyH

Admissions Offices are full of people people (that's what makes them good at Admissions stuff) who are not by nature highly methodical or terribly well organized. There is a rhythm to those jobs, and until you find it you do feel like you are drowning in a sea of phone calls and details. Can you either forward the phone to voice mail for a couple of hours a day, or swap answering times with someone else, so that you can get a little time clear to make some headway on other things?

Hang in there -- it will get easier and, trust me, you can do it. Just take a deep breath and remember that little children will not die if you don't get it all done perfectly RIGHT NOW!!!

Sending good vibes your way --

Sending vibes your way. One thing I've discovered over the years, and now give myself less grief about, is that it'll feel like you've lost

10 - 15 IQ points for the first few weeks/months in a job. But they come back :-)

Sounds like you'll be doiing fine soon.and like the job has potential to be something you will love.

You *can* do this. From your description, it sounds like you're in what I call the "ohmighod" phase that comes with any new job, until you get used to it. Hang in there for about a month, and then run a mental comparison between your feelings then and now. I guarantee you'll feel better!

What Celine says. But please remember you can, and SHOULD, ask those around you for help. They don't expect you to know it all, and it's not a sign of incompetence to ask questions. They are there to help you, so make sure you utilize their experience and knowledge!

Good luck!

Wow, that is exactly how I feel when I start a new job! You *can* do it; just don't be afraid to ask for explanations for things, and slowly but surely, it will come together for you.

Hey Kathy,

You will be in my prayers for sure. Don't think that your personality is not right for the job. You come across as professional and knowledgeable. You're a great listener and people like you right away (I know that personally, remember). Don't give up, it will all fall into place. You will do great.
