- 1. When you are new, kind helpful people make starting a new job possible. (Without people like this, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything this week.)
- 2. College didn’t prepare me for dealing with a large system of files.
- 3. Going out to eat for lunch with co-workers, when the company is picking up the bill, is an awesome thing.
- 4. Adjusting to a new system and way of doing things takes time. This includes setting up and actually understanding what is going on. The understanding part takes the longest amount of time, though the initial setup can be extremely time consuming.
- 5. A short commute to work and casual dress code at work are both great things.
- 6. Competent management, willing to listen and take criticism (while instructing), makes for more productive and satisfied employees. This will probably also result in a more successful company.
- 7. Work is a lot better than college.
- 8. Asking a lot of questions is not a bad thing. If you are new, it is a necessity, and the only way that you will learn.
- 9. Regular quick and constructive meetings to evaluate progress are a positive thing.
Find #7 to be very true with me as well.

i experienced 1, 3, and 8 with the Ivins group. Unfortunately, that was not much of a career and not as successful as i hope your job at vocollect is. i cant wait for sharpsville container corp.

It sounds like you’re gonna do great at Cocoa Voco, as I like to call it. I’m looking forward to hearing more about it. We should go out to eat soon.
