hey guys

i hope all is well.

recently j have got a new job as a surveyor after graduating and enjoy it and am very involved.

however sometimes when i get told to do something in a more aggressive way i respond but then freeze and dont defend myself as much as i should.

this makese feel weak and incompetent and reminds me pf previous uni classsmates were always showing off they were better etc..

please help.

    Hi Adam it's really difficult when first starting a new job to not feel apprehensive but it will pass as you gain confidence and feel more secure in yourself.

    Is it your boss telling you what t do, people in higher positions can come across at harsh but it's probably just their way so don't take it personally I'm sure it's not meant that way and as for responding aggressively I definitely wouldn't go that route it would not end favorably I'm sure.

    Just take a deep breath and take notes if necessary

    Remember one thing your uni friends didn't get the job you did and in todays climate that means you wouldn't have been the only applicant by far, they only pick the best

    Congratulations
