Try not and worry too much about it. Everyone has a difficult time in a new job to begin with, and it's especially tough when you're moving into a new career.

I think the best thing to do at the start is to listen and pay attention.

First, there will be a lot to learn, in terms of office protocol. I think the more you are willing to listen to your new supervisors and co-workers, the more likely everyone will accept you.

Next, pay attention to how everyone interprets the office dress code. In the beginning, it's probably smart to not overdress any more than underdressing. You want to shine, but not outshine the people around you.

It's obvious you want to do well; the more you appear that way on the job, the easier your transistion will be. Good luck!

Just try to learn as much as you can, and remeber that mistakes will happen. The inportant part is how you rebound and handle mistakes.

It will definitely take time for you to adjust and feel completely comfortable in your new surroundings. Just be yourself and do your job to the best of your ability. If you mess up a little, don't sweat it. We all make mistakes. Be friendly and respectful to your coworkers. I'm sure you'll adapt just fine. All it takes is a little time to break the ice. Good Luck!
