[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 536838, member: 3907"] Star, it sounds to me like this job is perfect for you. Now, as to learning all the stuff, you mention that you're a kinaesthetic learner. So, you can't just look at (i.e. read) the material, which is great for visual learners, or listen to the material, which is great for auditory learners. You have to find a way to make the learning physical so that you can develop muscle memory of the material and get it firmly lodged in your brain. A question for you: When you have to remember something, do you: a) write it down b) repeat it to yourself until you remember it c) some other method that I can't come up with off the top of my head. Whatever technique works best for you there, can be adapted to help you learn this overwhelming amount of material for your job. Whether it's taking copious notes (or even transcribing the whole text book in your handwriting), or reading it all out loud to yourself (which is different from listening to a recording of someone else's voice saying the same thing that you would be saying), or some other thing, there are ways for this to work. I'm also a kinaesthetic learner, and I find that note-taking, reading aloud, and setting stuff to music so I can sing it to myself as I go about my day are the three methods that work best for me when I have to remember a boatload of information that just won't stick. Hope this helps just a little bit. Trinity [/QUOTE]
