Worried about job

LegacyUser · 2011-02-04 15:00:59

There is a good indication that I will be offered graduate job with a massive company which is excellent experience as they train me for 3 months before I actually start working but I am starting to get worried that I wont be able to do the job.

There is a good indication that I will be offered graduate job with a massive company which is excellent experience as they train me for 3 months before I actually start working but I am starting to get worried that I wont be able to do the job.

I had to do an assessment centre which I was meant to do a technical test but I explained to them that I have dyslexia and wanted more time but they informed me right before I was meant to start the test that I wouldnt have to do it and rather have a second technical interview. I got grilled on that second one as he was the manager of the hole dept. It made me think about if I am actually capable of doing this job but I did get positive feedback though this was an average of the two tech interviews with the first one going really well. I am not sure if I am smart enough for the job as I didnt do the tech test and that would have showed if I was smart enough.

I havent done anything since finishing college that would help me in the job and I am scared that I will be pretty crap at the job despite the training as I feel it might be go too fast for me to learn the martial.

Like the pay is crap as well but its only a year contact. It would involve me moving to the north and I am a bit worried as I have a very Irish name and even though I have been in the north a good few times I would be a bit worried about living there.

Pay can seem terrible in the North.
However.....your money goes a long way too. Not such a massive difference as there once was but you'll do ok.

We've an excellent thread in the region North forum about Belfast. Friendly crew in that forum so feel free to start your own

With a bit of common sense you'll be fine in the North. I felt safer in Belfast then I ever did in Galway or Dublin.
And you won't top my bogger culchie accent :pac:

Come over this area for more info, might help with the second part of your post, we don't know where in NI you are going

Don't worry about it. I went into a job after college in a very specialised area that I had never even heard of before. I'm not one of the top guys where I work..put your head down and you'll succeed. Not to worry.
