    Hi guys

    got a new job but a little worried if i will be up to the duties required

    I didnt spoof off in the interview etc but im still worried that it will be over my head

    would it be a good idea to talk to my new manager and have a chat about it before i hand in my notice ? Or should i just show up on day one and hope for the best

    as scoop 64 says just go for it. If you got the job and didn't spoof you should be able for it!

    remember its a new job so there will be a learning curve at the beginning so be prepared to do a bit extra in the evenings for the first while to help you get the groove! :)

    I've interviewed a load of people in my time.
    They wouldn't pick you if they didn't think you could do the job.

    If you genuinely aren't able for the job, then that's a bad reflection on the managers interviewing skills, not you.

    Just jump into the role and give it a shot.
    Most people will find their feet after a couple of weeks, and it'll be plain sailing after that.
