Job Training

[melodylogan45]

When you are being trained by someone at work to do a particular job function, do you take notes or do you just watch what they do and then do it yourself without any problems?

It doesn't seem like there's any opportunity to write it down.  It's only bing, bang, there you go and then you're supposed to have learned it in two seconds. I personally cannot learn that fast.

Take notes, ask questions, and do anything I can to excel.

I take notes, I don't pretend that I already know, I usually ask questions if I don't know how to do it.

I take notes and also ask for screenshots to print out to reference back to.  I usually try and put these in a folder or 3 ring binder to refer back to.  Also help the next person or whom is suppose to cover my desk when I am out.  (Which of course rarely happens)

I take notes so I do not miss any important information.

I like to take notes, it helped a lot.  Once i was promoted in the company i worked and we installed new computer systems , i made sure i took notes as i was training on them, Because i was going to have to train others and i knew my notes were going to come in handy training others. After i was trained i  put the notes in order as to how to work the system and had a bunch printed up for all the employees i was training.  I had to train in several stores across the state as we were putting in their new computer systems. Those notes came in handy every where i went.

It really depends on what I'm being trained on.  If it's something I'm not going to do often I do take notes.  Sine I don't bake often I'm glad I've made cheat sheets for temps and times.  Other than that I'm pretty good and just knowing what to do from the experience I already have.

I like to take notes when possible because it is hard for me to remember pertinent information and I hate to keep asking the same questions.

It depends on what the job is. I typically apply for jobs that I already have experience in: Compliance, due diligence and finance. There are minor little differences but they are generally fairly easy to figure out. If I am being trained for something additional I would take notes, put questions in the margins of my notes, and observe everything possible. At completion of training I would ask all of the questions that I had saved. I am usually quick to pick things up. I was blessed, in college and High School, with being able to pick up all that I needed to get A's and B's just by showing up and observing. College taught me how to take tests so that I was able to pass my Insurance exams, Real state exams and Mortgage exams without studying too much.  That knack has carried through to my current positions where I am required to take tests every three to four months and manage to pass them on the first try even with new regulations.
