My first day of training
Hey, hey, hey.
Every time I think about having a job, I am just filled with happiness. While it’s not a position in my field, having this job is giving me a sense of purpose. It allows me to see a future where I am able to gain my independence and it couldn’t have come at a better time.
When I stopped working at my last job, I was really nervous. I’ve been unemployed before and I know how hard it is to find a job. And to know that I have been trying to get in my field for so long and still haven’t been able to find the right job, it scared the crap out of me.
I am just amazed how this job kind of fell in my lap and I am really looking forward to sharing this journey with you guys.
Now I really wish I could tell you that my first two days of training were absolutely amazing. To be honest, it was really boring, which I was forewarned about, because it was all on the computer.
Literally, I was at the computer all day doing several trainings each day. Thursday, I was actually training in the area I will be working, but I kind of felt like a child. I was watching and listening to everyone around me working and nobody was really interacting with me. It was really strange. I was there, but not really, if that makes sense.
Friday, I worked on my trainings in the office and that was cool. I was pretty much alone most of the time until the managers came to deal with some duties like ordering merchandise and following up with customer complaints.
While I do feel that the computer-based trainings were helpful in some areas, it’s hard to fully comprehend something when you know very little about it and the role it plays in your position. I guess I am just more of a hands-on type of girl.
I have a couple more computer-based trainings to complete, but this week I am actually training for the job and I am SUPER excited.
Have a great day!
