Can someone please help mentor me?

I deal with a team that I ask for help to show me how to do something after requesting a task to be done. I am happy to work on the task and learn. All they do is make sure to cover their butt by making an e-mail trail showing the bare minimum of information and expect me to get a task done. After, I tell them I need you to show me how to get the task done and shadow me in order for me to get the task done 15-20min.

I feel like I am drowning daily.

Hey, I’m happy to help you - it can be overwhelming and when no one is willing to help it can be really hard. I shifted from service industry to advertising almost 10+ years ago and the learning curve was brutal.

DM me, I’ll give you some excel, insights and email verbiage training to help get you feeling more confident.

It’s a really good sign that you’re so ready and eager to learn, it’s not you, it’s the environment you’re right now - it won’t always be this way!

Can you give me examples of the tasks you’re asked to do? How long have you been there?

Thank you all for your feedback!
