A bit of both in all honesty. Met the boss on Wednesday, it’s a female boss to a small family run business. Basically she’s married with one kid already, she’s looking to have baby number two so longer-term shes wanting to go part-week then step away from the business for good and hand over the reigns.
I’ll largely be shadowing her, learning the day to day running and how everything runs from top to bottom then I’ll eventually transition into her role. That’s the long term view she’s got for me, she told me that at the interview stage. I was management at my old job so it’s not a great deal different and has a lot of transferable skills.
I just need to learn their in house procedures and systems they use that I’m not familiar with. It won’t take me long. As well as selling the shit worldwide, the company actually make these bespoke saunas and whatnot and bathroom tiles and shit so I need to learn what they do on that side and why and the different specs on all these models and capabilities and boring shit.
It will take me some time as it’s all alien to me at this point but I’m pretty confident I’ll adapt and change and they seem to think I’ll do well too. I’m from a sales and admin/management background so everything here is stuff I have a proven track record in, just not in that specific market.
