Abstract
Five geographers, entering teaching in British higher education for the first time, were interviewed about their experiences in the initial year of their new appointments. This paper explores their experiences of making the transition to their new jobs and the wide variety of problems encountered in coming to terms with teaching, research and administration. Conclusions are drawn concerning the development of effective teaching, integration of new members of staff, teaching load and development for the future.
