Out of my element: Need some advice

Did you take a position you knew little about and excelled with training? Am I okay jumping into something that I didn't get super in-depth training on, knowing I'll have someone looking over my shoulder? Anything you've got for me I'll soak up like a sponge.

PearsonVue Trick is all lies. I didn't get a popup and I PASSED!

Don't believe in that stupid Pearson Vue pop-up trick! It guarantees NOTHING. Just wait for, at the very least, quick results, and that letter. And, really, just believe in yourself!
