New on the job advice?

I just started a new job in a totally new career in IT. I'm feeling way in over my head with the high expectations placed on me. What is the best way to communicate this to my manager? Any tips on surviving in the techie-world of IT without a technical background?

Answer:
Congratulations on your new career!

Don't be too hard on yourself. Most management will expect a period of transition, especially if this is a new career move.

What area of IT are you in?
It's normal to feel that way. Give yourself a little time in the job to feel more confident.
just take it slow and watch what other people are doing .even if you have a little experience no matter where you go its always going to be differant some where else you'll do ok you just need time to get use to it . good luck
On communicating with your manager, I've noticed this about most all IT people: they have a dry sense of humor. The key is that they HAVE a sense of humor. Most of them are easy to get along with.
