Two weeks at my new job

I've been at my new job for two weeks now and I'm still quite nervous every morning. I still need to get used to the procedures and regulations and find my own role. Given the dynamics of my function, there is not really and introduction program. But in a new situation like this I find it very nice to have some structure and be able to create a framework within all activities take place. I am still very insecure about my job and whether I am able to get the hang of it.

While surfing the internet regarding experiences with the same situation I often read that the working atmosphere and the company's culture are a major cause of the insecurity and doubts whether this is thé job for people, but in my case it is the content of the job. Experience was asked in the vacancy and the is something I just don't have yet since I only graduated in the end of August. However, they didn't put their faith in me for nothing (Or was I just really convincing and showing a strong personality during the job interview?).

Missing this experience makes it for me really difficult to have a framework concerning the work. I simply don't have any references yet to process all the information I get. This is my baseline measurement. However, I am expected to create my own vision concerning the work. Of course this often is the case with a very first job and do I need to develop this in due time. Fortunately the company's culture is very good, I am involved in meetings, lunches and I feel very welcome. But can I get the hang of this job? And most of all, will I enjoy this job for some unknown period in the future?

Ciao!
