Job Orientation

There are a few things we need to get you oriented with before you begin. First, here is your login ID and password for the computer system. You'll want to make sure you write that down in a safe place, as we are not allowed to give it out to you unless we see each other in person. Next you want to familiarize yourself with the printer. This will fill all your needs from prints, to copies, to faxes. This is our primary source of communication between the various branches of our company. The third thing you need to familiarize yourself with is our accounting systems. This will definitely be the most important part of your job. After each transaction you make, you must know how to enter the codes, prices, and dates. Without these we will have no permanent recordings of our sales and we could be sued as a company, so obviously this is a huge responsibility and one you must take very seriously. Those are the important things to remember, our on shift manager will cover the specifics with out. If you need me, here's my business card. I'm very busy but I generally respond to texts and e-mails fairly quickly.

Now, before I leave I'll give you a few pointers. First off, watch out for Becky. If she hasn't had her morning coffee, and she doesn't always have time, she can get pretty irritable. If she yells at you don't feel bad, everyone's been through it. She's been working here for 17 years and she knows this company through and through, so learn from her even when it's tough. We have a team of tech support here when you have problems, but I would personally advise you to request Rob each time. He's always been the smartest and fastest from my experience. Oh, and with the purchase sales sheets I was telling you earlier, it's easiest to put them in Excel and then just transfer them over. Our standard program here is made for very advanced users, and Excel will make things a lot easier for you. I hired someone for your position about 3 years ago that quit after the first week, because they just couldn't figure out the program and didn't think they were cut out for the job. It's only as difficult as you make it.

Anyways, I have a big meeting I need to get to, but if you ever need advice call me. I really want to see you succeed and be an asset to this company, and I've been in your shoes before. It will seem difficult and fast paced at first, but if you just relax and deal with one problem at a time you will do just fine. After a while it might even become kind of fun for you. Good luck!
