The first week of a new job is generally acknowledged as being a very stressful time. It is not surprising that it can be stressful.
Many people find that beginning a new job can lead to feelings of unease, unhappiness and worry.

Your manager will discuss your first week's programme with you and will give you further information concerning the people you are booked to meet, and the purpose of each meeting. As a general point, when meeting people please feel free to ask any questions that you might have about their job, how their job relates to yours, or more general questions about the section, the department or the University.
