One of the things that I had never expected about the new job I was hired on for was the amount of learning that was going to be required.  I half expected just to be thrown in and to learn as the days progressed, but I was put on the corporate training program to learn the proper way to use the document management software and high volume scanners.

I had assumed that the training programs that I had taken in the past (in the restaurant industry) would have been similar to what I would expect working for a larger, more professional organization.  But, as it turns out, I was wrong.

In fact, it wasn’t at all what I was expecting.  I didn’t know that there was a right way and a wrong way to manage documents in an organization, or that there were different document storage methodologies that were to be used.

The training program is supposed to take three weeks before I will even be working in the information services department.  They want to make sure that I know what I am doing out there as a simple mistake can cost a lot of time and in some cases a lot of money.

But, I think that I am up for the challenge, and I am looking forward to working at a job where I don’t have to ask, “Would you like fries with that?”
