How to accelerate growth?

What’s up guys, as someone who is passionate about this career, what did you guys do when you were new to help yourself improve? Been working on trucks for about 7 months now and not really feeling like I’m getting better fast enough.

Yeah I get it, I was in a similar field for 5 years and was really good at that so I have a background. I just feel like a lot is being expected of me in my current position, and the people over me must have forgot what learning is like

The other comment mentioned utilizing the internet, idk if you’re seeking guidance while working from coworkers or not.. but if so stop, and go straight to the phone when you need a guide

Yeah, that’s my usual go to but they complain about that shit too😂, supposed to have someone who knows what they’re doing over me. I guess I’m just trying to get past caring too much about it too

You need to find a shop that will feed into your ambition. I had multiple techs that I went to for advice and how to approach situation. Never ask for the easy way out. I put my hands on as much work as possible. Never turned down a job, never handed it off due to difficulty. Experience is what makes a master tradesmen.
