I’m at a bit lost. You didn’t take the job because they didn’t offer any training? or because you didn’t want to do the training offered?
Are you afraid you won’t be able to do the job or learn as you go, like many of us have? I’ve always told my future employers that ‘I’m constantly doing things I don’t know how to do in order to learn how to do it.’ I think it’s called initiative and employers need their work force to have it. It’s too expensive to spoon feed and micro manage, and personally, I’d hate to be managed like that.
I say, GO FOR IT! If you’re being offered jobs that you like the look of, except for the lack of one-on-one training, just go for it. Starting a new job is always a learning experience. Take the job description and run with it. You’ll be allowed to ask questions as you go, surely, but if you get a job where you are expected to think for yourself and be relied on for your personal judgement, those are two things that can’t be taught from a text book. You just have to have it and do it.
I know someone who is a perfect example of this. He’s not an electrical engineer, but started as a temp, assembling electrical components. He liked the work. He helped streamline some systems that he saw he could help with (initiative), and he found himself on a plane to Korea with a tool box and no training on how to fix some equipment he had only some small ideas of how it worked. He called the techs when he had questions, but he’s been learning as he goes now for 10 years and travels the world fixing things for the company he was hired as a temp for and trains others and has more ‘qualified’ people calling him all the time for help.
They’re not hiring you for what you exactly know about that specific job description, they’re hiring you because they believe you will learn and pick things up as you go. We’ve all done it. Sometimes it’s fun!
