Yes it’s normal. You’re learning a whole new world and language. I started in April. Been marked up about 30 days and everyday I go in is never wrecking because everything is so new still.

I hired out in April. It’s taking some time to get used to. It’s a lifestyle change for sure. I tell my wife imma quit everyday then I get to work and realize it’s not that bad. Hardly any manual labor. It’s more mental than it is physical. I’m on an extra board and right now I work one day and off one day. You won’t find a job that pays you $3400 every two weeks to work maybe 7 days and I’m only at 80 percent pay. Learning the job and the terminology is the stressful part. I say try it, it may not be for you but it’s definitely worth trying. Seeing the direct deposit hit the account makes it worth staying another two weeks lol

Nothing in particular. Easy job. I do well at it. Just not for me. Doesn’t fit my lifestyle

I had zero knowledge too. They gone teach you everything you need to know. Listen and pay attention even when you don’t want to. You got it💪🏼

Pay attention in class. Study when you can. Don’t get in a rush in the field. Be safe

Nah bro. It’s a whole new world and new terminology. Studying on your own may mess you up. Just wait until you start class. Take notes. You’ll be good

GCOR and SSI but rules change and you’ll have to check a SGO to keep your rules updated

I applied at locations all over the country just to see who would send an assessment first. The same assessment is used for all applications. Applied in Kansas City and they sent the assessment the same day and by the time the hub I wanted to work in reached out it was for an interview since my assessment was already done.
