The first transition from props to turbojet will always be rough...expect to be behind the power curve for the first 2-4 sessions. If you have basic controllability problems after that, you may need some remedial time.

Trim is critical, fly the pitch with the trim except for the stalls/steeps.

Don't get distracted by all the bells and whistles in the cockpit...focus on the basics.

Jets are flown by intruments...no need to look outside for most manuevers (except LDG), try to stay on the guages. Your instructor should explain expected attitude and power settings for various manuevers.
