My manager has been asking me to train a couple new hires. This is showing me two things: 1) I’m not that great at training other people and 2) I don’t actually like training other people. I’m decent enough that I’ll get through this round, but I will definitely have to figure out how to let my manager know I have no desire to do this again. What’s one thing you prefer to avoid at work?

I personally love training other employees, however I hate having to host training sessions to multiple people on a certain software. It gets me so anxious every time, but 1 on 1 is fine!

Training does come down to how well things are written down vs verbally shared. And how the trainee picks up what is being learned.

I recently joined a new team that said they had lots of training and support. I don’t think I have ever felt so alone during the onboarding. I just past 90-days in, and I think I’ll be applying elsewhere over the weekend.

I hate writing notes in a meeting. As a project manager, it’s part of the job. But at the same time, I can’t lead a call and take notes. (But I can walk and chew gum at the same time)

After 2 years of a pandemic and working independently for many years, I am not feeling interviews AT ALL. There are points in the interview where I want to just say "Look! Either hire me or don't".

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?

A good friend of mine graduated from Parsons this past summer, has degrees in Journalism and French, is a talented photographer and designer (which I feel I have a pretty decent eye for after working at a design-driven branding agency for half a decade).

Any advice for her and/or shops/hiring managers/non-traditional job hunt tips to steer her towards?

Will i give the impression of being a job hopper? Does it really matter?
