Fear Factor

Seven jobs in ten years. I should be used to a ‘first day’ at work. I’m not. With the career miles I’ve racked up on my CV I should stride into the new office with the consummate ease of a CEO approaching the business class travel desk. I don’t. I’m edgy, nervous and insecure. That deep-rooted fear of failure raises its ugly head, a beast waiting to be uncaged for this very feast. On my first day of work I end up wishing the earth would swallow me. It won’t. It’s Fear Factor tomorrow – a first day at work.
