Do you like to hit the ground running?

HA! You made me giggle again! This has happened to me at every job I have had! This is so typical of companies - wanting something for nothing. Since I am an aggressive worker I just take opportunities and run. Good time to show off and get a promotion! You may have to suck it up for a while and getting under paid but you can't beat experience. Always remember that!! Don't be afraid - Make it your own and RUN with it!!

I tell whomever I don't know what I am doing! at work once upon a time I had a supervisor who thought I was a good teacher. I am not and told her so. she tried to get me to train people and I would say I need you to teach me How to teach them. She stopped and soon after was replaced with my current supervisor . my current boss asked if I Wanted rto help train and I said no and that was it. So Even if I Had to leave , I rather Know what I am doing than Pretend I do.

hi bounce no I have not but I was thinking of my best friend' Nelda who works for a large insurance company. they have been downsizing lately and now have empty chairs. so what they are doing is' training the ones they have left to hold the positions the empty chairs 'represent.,Its been hectic as they try to do their own work and learn how to do someone else's work too.But at least they are training the ones left instead of just making them find out for themselves, and thats really good.

Bounce, I honestly don't think I could do it. Stress would really get me down, and I'd be of no help to the company at all. I'd let the big bosses know that I'm not sure what the heck I'm doing and ask for a crash training course if nothing else. If that doesn't work, atleast they know that I'm not sure what I'm doing.

Yes, I've experienced this during the first few weeks of my job. I'm a writer and as they say, writing is "talent" so there's no need for some training. I was assigned writing tasks during my first two weeks at work. And so, I wrote the articles using my own writing style and at the same time, referring to the guide provided by the client. However, they said that even though the quality of my work is good, I did not fully comply with the writing guide. After a few months. we finally have a writing workshop where we were trained to do some various writing style apt for the demands of our client. I think this should have been done before we were assigned tasks so as to avoid non-compliance with the client's specification.
