[QUOTE="LillyandSilver, post: 247807, member: 31510"] ✨First Seat Review✨ Goodness, how the time has flown by. I have found out my next seat, and I'll give you a hint, it's in murders and executions. I actually have adored this seat and the vibes of my department are so perfect I really don't want to leave. I think I really settled into the team, and it doesn't feel right to be leaving. I have so many things I'm working on, and to not see them finished is actually really annoying. The next trainees in the department are going to think I'm some sort of helicopter mum with me hovering over them, asking for updates. Takeaways from my first seat [LIST=1] [*]Always ask for feedback, even if you are afraid of getting it. I looked over some of the work I did when I was first starting, and it is actually crazy how much I have improved. [*]Keep a spreadsheet of tasks and make sure it is up to date. [*]When a partner asks you to do some work, ask when they want it back by. Managing expectations about my capacity and being open about my workload has really helped. I am more than happy to take on extra work, but I am also open about the other deadlines I need to meet. [*]Don't be afraid to ask for help. [/LIST] Looking forward to seeing you guys in 6 months.
