Even for seasoned professionals, the thrill of starting a new job is apparent. But I'm sure I don't have to remind you that enthusiasm typically comes with a lot of fear.

To help you make sense of all those anxieties, here are a few topics you're probably overthinking, as well as the areas you should be concentrating on instead.

It's normal to think that prior work habits will apply to this new position. This is an assumption I've made more times than I'd care to confess. When you start a new job, though, it's always a good idea to think about what behaviours are appropriate for the team you're on.

If you're really worried, you might question your boss about the team's normal working hours. While it's doubtful that everyone will be on the same schedule, you'll have a sense of when it's "OK" to come in and when it's "OK" to go.

You're overthinking your remarks in front of your coworkers.

Keep in mind that you are no longer in the process of applying for the job. You’ve truly gotten it. So, while some of your new coworkers may think you have some questionable culinary preferences, you don't have to be concerned about them keeping you around.

You're overthinking the number of questions you're going to ask.

I used to assume that by asking too many questions, I was wasting my colleagues' time and making myself appear inept earlier in my career. What I soon discovered was that asking more questions helped me make a better impression since I was able to get up to speed faster than if I had just gazed at my welcome packet for days. Don't be scared to speak up if you're unsure about what you're working on. That's all there is to it.

However, you aren't giving enough thought to the types of questions you are posing.

Don't be hesitant to raise your hand and ask for assistance if you have a question regarding your position. There are some questions, though, that you should avoid asking since the fact is that you don't require the answers right now.

There's stuff you don't need to be concerned about right now because it won't affect your first few weeks, from obscure business history to summer Fridays policy to inconsequential gossip. And you should be reserving all of your mental energy for tackling your new tasks. Not to add, you don't want to waste your team's time with unrelated worries if you don't have the nicest and most patient employees.

With that stated, you'll have non-job-related inquiries, and it's critical to make sure you're asking the correct person when they arise. Perhaps your HR department is more suited to discuss vacation policy, whereas your IT department is the more reasonable choice when it comes to printing troubles.

However, you're not giving enough thought to what you want your new role in this office to be.

When you start a new job, you have a clean slate to work with, so it's a fantastic time to take control of how you're perceived at work. Consider how you want your coworkers to perceive you.

Perhaps you've always been a helper and now want to be recognised as a leader. Alternatively, perhaps you've always worn all the hats and now want to be an expert. Even if you're still new, there's nothing stopping you from establishing yourself as intelligent, insightful, or anything else you want others to know you're capable of.

It's difficult to adjust to a new job, especially at first. It's also natural to overthink things. While it may seem as if you'll never feel completely at ease in your new surroundings, the fact that you're reading this article indicates that you're prepared to put in the effort necessary to get there. So take a deep breath, quit berating yourself for little infractions, and get back to work.

Best of luck to you
