Until the Next Person Gets Hired

I am editing a gigantic piece of writing in order to break it down into smaller chunks right now. This is my Get a Job Book Two, where the second chapter morphed into 6,000 words. Much too long, so I’m reading it to determine where I want to chop it into manageable chunks that can be stand-alone chapters.

I was just explaining in the book that as a new hire, you just don’t know everything you need to know right off the bat. Everybody is in the same boat, so you’re really nothing special. It takes time to learn to do a new job.

So, I told these young people I’m writing the book for that they need to take notes. They need to listen and be able to take legible notes. Then, that evening, in fact, every evening for at least the next three weeks or longer, they will be going home to transcribe their notes. Nobody is going to be paying them for typing up their notes. This is a new hire’s homework that nobody really talks about much.

Anyway, I told them they would be called the New Guy until they hired the next new guy. The term “guy” is used interchangeably for women and men, just guy.

At one of my husband’s jobs, they had a bunch of blank business cards where you could write your name on the line until the company could have new business cards printed up for you.

They used to call them DNG cards. Dumb New Guy business cards.
