Training Inexperienced Employees

Kazuko: I really appreciate you helping with the training of the Newbies. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Martin: Don’t mention it. I remember when I was still Wet behind the ears and the Veterans in the company gave me the benefit of their time and Expertise. They Propped me up until I could Stand on my own two feet.

Kazuko: I can’t imagine you as a Novice. Everybody here thinks of you as the Cornerstone of the institution.

Martin: Well, that may be, but you should have seen me in the early years. I was Naive and Reckless. I may be more Adept at my job now, but I felt Inept for years.

Kazuko: I saw you talking with some of the new Recruits. What advice did you give them?

Martin: I gave them the same advice that an Old hand gave me when I first started: Take every piece of advice you get With a grain of salt!
