Accepted an offer after 12 months - 12 months and counting

I start on Monday after a long search. I am in Richmond, in case local advice matters. It is not my dream role, but the pay is fair and the people are kind. How do you handle the first week?

Well earned. Ask questions early, even small ones. People liked it.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 12 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
