When I first started in media I expected a lot more structured training. In reality, most of what I’ve learned has been on the job (through many mistakes). Has your company invested in proper training and development, or do you feel like you’ve mostly had to figure things out yourself?

I am right there with you. I have gotten most of my training on the job. I have never worked anywhere that had a good training program. You kind of just learn on the job.

I feel like to an extent it’s good to learn as you go, as long as the company understands that mistakes may be made this way

You mean the one e-learning powerpoint that says spell correctly don't plagarise wasn't enough training!

Hahah and the ‘don’t leave your computer unlocked’ PowerPoint??

The argument that climate change is not man-made has been disproven by science over and over again, yet many people believe that the global crisis is either not real, not of our making, or both, in part because the news media deliberately chooses not to talk about it because it doesn't sell enough.

Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.
