Well on Tuesday I had a job interview and since I don't have much expierence they have offered me a 2 week trial to see how I get on and if I am worth keeping on perminantly. I really want this job and I want to impress them so what can I do to make them want to keep me on full time?

I started a new job at the beginning of March and everyone says I've settled in really well. There is a senior manager who everyone seems scared of, but I decided to make my own mind up about and now we get on really well. He's always really nice to me and I've never done anything unusual for him, just be pleasant, make him the odd coffee and do what he asks of me (don't feel like I'm making a special effort with him - maybe my old bosses where just complete nightmares and I naturally do more than is expected!)
There is also someone who has just recently started working with us, in fact in the position directly above me. She's not settling in so well because she gets given a job by her equals but doesn't dare ask how to do it and then comes down the corridor to my office and asks me to "help" her with it. She ends up palming it off on to me and not learning anything.
ETA: What's the job, btw?
Congrats on getting the trial - you must have made a good impression to be offered it. There's lots of useful tips on this article on surviving the start of a new job
Hope it helps
