Okay, so I'm a recent college grad. I have a B.M in music performance, which is really not very useful in the work-related world unless I go to grad school, which I'm not doing right now.
So I applied for lots of jobs and one of those jobs was at my former university in the registrar's office. Now, I have office experience, but I've always worked under like 2 levels so I really haven't had responsibility for stuff when it goes wrong.
So I apply for this job and I actually get an interview (I know for a fact that they got a million applications). In the interview they stressed that the position is high stress and people are always walking in (they hired someone who lasted 2 days and I think they wanted to be clear how busy the office is).
The interview goes well, and I spend the weekend trying not to think about it since they've put the fear of God in me about this job.
So today I get a call from the office manager, and she offered me the position. And I said yes.
And yet I'm scared to death that I'm not going to be able to learn the job, that I'll look, feel and act stupid, that people will hate me and yell at me and that I'll cry.
What is wrong with me?!?! I think I'm afraid of success.
