Still having anxiety about new job

[Righteoustakeme]

So I went to job orientation this past Tuesday, it was fine but it was also a little overwhelming. They gave me access to an online assessment taking training system and I’ve been trying to pass the test but I keep on failing with a 93% instead of 100%. All the answers are in front of me in the code of conduct book and I’m somehow STILL not passing!!! So frustrating!! I have to complete all the modules within 15 days so I’m really nervous that I won’t pass them or be able to get through them. I know it’s simple, but I’m really worried. I’m also just worried about performing at my job in general, counting my drawer and making sure scammers don’t get through to us as a store. They went over the scammers a lot in the orientation. It seems like this simple cashier job has a lot of moving parts that I wasn’t quite ready for. The money is good so I really want the job, but I’m scared. I just want to be successful and have a good job that I can be comfortable in and be proud of. Sigh.

You're coming very close to 100%, so give yourself a break. Just study the material some more, and try it again. If you have 15 days to do it online, you should have plenty of time. Don't let everything overwhelm you.

I can relate very well. I too am starting a new job. I hate looking for work. I decided that after years of being a cook in two restaurants. At 56 years old. It is killing my body. When you are the only cook and doing all of it. Working at those jobs 14 hours a day at times. It is taking a toll on my mental and physical health. Too many pains. I found a job but you know how the stress is. You will be fine. It sounds like you are doing well with the test and all. You are close to 100%. Keep positive and you will win. Good luck and thinking of you.
