Well, that's one day of training under my belt. I hope that things get a lot more complex as we go along. We just barely got out feet wet today. It involved four different avenues of study. As I understand it, things get harder come day 4,5, and 6. Let me give you an example of the exercises that we had to do.
The first exercise consisted of going to the website and listing all the models of a particular line of products. List the serial number, price, catch phrase, and brief description. Time allowed ten minutes. Good luck. That's a paragraph that you have to write for seven models of laptops.
A later exercise consisted of opening two windows and using the ALT and TAB keys to toggle between them. Time allowed: 10 minutes. How can those two things both take ten minutes.
The funniest part of the day was getting to listen in on a recorded call. It was shocked and both of my neighbors were laughing by the end of it. I can't really give specifics, but it ended with the customer hanging up. It was so funny I played it twice. I got behind for it, but it was worth it.
Maybe there will be more for tomorrow. They have promised me a badge, so I won't have to sneak by security anymore. Also some one from Intel will be speaking to us on lunch. I won't get paid for it, but he does bring a free lunch. That seems like a fair trade off.
Until tomorrow...
