Is on the job training available for you to not just sharpen new skills but get a level of confidence about what you feel you are lacking? Remember that when you begin a position at a new employer the playing field is level. You may have done the same job at another company but the expectation and process at the new company will be different and something new to learn. It can be a stressful process to begin something new it can also be paralyzing when you feel overwhelmed or underqualified, so be proactive , ask for clarification on the things you feel underqualified to do and ask for training when possible. The best way to feel less under qualified is to educate yourself to become proficient in the areas you feel you are not comfortable doing or do not understand.
