Hello @warmth congrats on the new job !
! I believe consistent improvement, no matter how small, is a good indicator that you are on the right track.
Making mistakes is natural, especially when starting a new role, but what matters is the commitment to learning and improving with each experience. 
But hmmm what kinda challenges are you facing now ?

Hi @warmth congrats on your new job!
It’s completely normal to feel uncertain when starting something new. If you want to check your performance, consider seeking feedback from your colleagues or supervisor. Regular check-ins can provide insights into your strengths and areas for improvement. Learning curves are expected, so be patient with yourself during this probation period and continue to adapt and grow in your role. Remember, asking for feedback and proactively seeking guidance are signs of a proactive and dedicated employee. If you need someone to talk more about your new job, I’m here for you. Take care. X

Is this new job different from what you’ve done in your previous jobs or in school? Think you’ll just need to give yourself some time to explore.
Maybe one way to help yourself is to come up with a 100-day plan. That’ll help you chart out the goals you want to achieve in your first, second and third month.
Your ability to do well will depend on how much expertise you have for your new role and who you know that can help you along the way. Hope this helps!

Hi @warmth thanks for being so willing to share 
Just a few food for thoughts and suggestions:
-
Be kind to yourself alright, no matter how we skilled we are. Sometimes it will take time to learn and be good in it. Is it possible to share what kind of role are you doing?
-
Is it possible to have discussion with your boss/reporting officer on how’s your progress been?
Jiayou~
