Thank you Aaron, for saying that. Those were my thoughts exactly, as a job seeker. I think I learn quickly, and I have a long 19 year history of good grades to prove it, expecting someone to remember everything the first time, perfectly? That's ridiculous. Einstein failed math once. Michael Jordan didn't make his high school basketball team the first time he tried. That one line "If I teach you something once, I don't ever want to teach it to you again", was the reason I didn't apply for this job. Other than that, I might have applied. I'm even caring about the wages less. I just want full time work and benefits so I can start moving forward again. A good mentor is one that has patience - one who can teach the same point different ways to custom fit every individual. He has patience and a drive to make the person they are mentoring succeed. Someone who *never* wants to teach the same point twice is no mentor.
