As nerve-wracking as it can be, starting a new job can also be an exciting experience. New challenges and opportunities await… Unless the job you've been hired for isn't actually as advertised. See, there's this thing that can happen where all optimism you had for the new role evaporates as you slowly realize that the job you've been hired for doesn't actually exist in the way you thought it did and the organization you're working for has no idea how the job they hired you for should function. This leaves you scrambling to show your new employer that you have aptitude in something that they don't understand and that they are completely blind to. So, chances are they'll wind up finding other things to do, and you'll end up doing something completely different to your trade and experience, as you get pushed further and further to the side.
