I’ve started a new role in the same company. When I interviewed they were aware I had no experience in that field. Upon offering me the position we discussed the extra support I would need.
On my first day I was sent an email with all the ongoing work I would be taking over. I had a call with the line manager who discussed HR forms etc but not the role. Then a 30 min chat with the person who’d been doing the work. She gave an overview of what I was going to be doing and had marked what needed to be done first. Then I was told just to ask for help when I need it.
I’ve been told it’s not the type of role you can train in and I’ll learn best by doing and asking questions. But as I’m not sure what I’m doing it’s been difficult to ask the right questions.
Has anyone had experience with this type of training? How did you get the best out of it? I’d really appreciate any advice.
My anxiety is through the roof and I’m tied into this position for the next few months so I really need to make the best of it if possible.
