Hey everyone I guess you could say I started a new job. I now work at the stantec tower. It seems so far pretty interesting, but I think I either worried myself to get sick, or got sick naturally. Either way I feel pretty bad. Working there I do feel intimated, because I don't know how to do some of the task they are asking of me and I worry of losing my job. I feel I could lose this opportunity at any second, because I learn things differently from everyone. I need to see how it is done first then I can get better at it then maybe improve upon it. When they talk to me about how to get the job done I draw a blank, because I cannot imagine what they are trying to tell me. I am the only one who does not understand on what or how we will accomplish the goal. I get flustered, because I feel useless and feel like they see that too. Then I hear some of these apprentices have been doing the trade since they were like 16, while I just started 2 years ago. I know I still have a lot to learn and in time I hope to be able to be just as knowledgeable.
I know I should just focus on putting one foot forward at a time and continue to keep trying to do my best, but I don't feel my best is good enough for them.

The best thing you can do is be honest and explain to them it's something you haven't done before and ask someone to show you. Have faith in yourself. Just because you've never done something doesn't mean you can't do it. You are 100% capable of learning.
