Anybody..?

if you talk the talk and walk the walk.......................................just ride it out and put it in experience

What kinda jopb you get, shan shan?

It's a teaching/mentoring sort of gig working with youths... Can't really put any more detail out there as I've already shared too much about where I live on here and it would be pretty easy for someone from my area to figure out who I really am on here with more info on the job...

It should be good... It's just got me nervous I think... Cause it's important to encourage and influence kids in a positive manner, and they definitely need some guidance...

I've just recently accepted a temporary position doing something that I love but there are many people better qualified for the position around locally...

I don't even know why I accepted it, Now I've got no life at all until it is over because I have to spend most of my waking hours learning new things and relearning what I did like 8 years ago so I don't embarrass myself completely...

Yup and not precisely by choice which actually makes it a little less stressful. But in this execrable market learning/re-learning is a great opportunity for you. So congratulations you know you won't be bored this summer.

I'm in Australia so it'll stave off the winter boredom...

The fact that you love it makes you the best qualified. The effort you're putting in is proof enough.

Dude This will be an awesome learning experience for your. If you have a question don't hesitate to ask your boss. Remember the number on rule "get it done correctly" even if it takes you a bit longer. If you show you are interested and want to learn then your boss will most likely keep you.

I started taking guitar lessons a long time ago but in a year or so I started giving them.
While I didn't know it all i knew way more than the people I was teaching. Their questions
along with my desire to not look as inadequate as I felt sometimes kept me on a path of learning.
Yes there were way more qualified but it mattered not to the people I interacted with and when I stumbled
on someone I really couldn't help i sent them to a friend who went to college and all that.
But yeah you do spend a ton of extra time researching. I benefited way more than most of the students.
