This wasn't for me - Anonymous employee ICF Employee Review

The on board training for DHS was horrible! The old contractors were leaving and so my team and I received little training. I was failing at this position because of the lack of training and failing at supporting meetings. No one trained me to support a meeting at an actual meeting. No hands on experience to excel at supporting meetings. I was told to show up on site and write everything you hear. You just had to figure it out as you go along. Writing summary notes was not my thing! I felt like I was back in school writing essays. My project manager knew I was not the best supporting meeting but would still send me.....I don't recall the job description stating I had to travel and had to write lengthy summaries. (I'm just saying.)
