MY FIRST TRAINING

Today was the first time I gave training to a bunch of freshers at office. Earlier the kind of sessions I had taken, were more to do with the application we developed, and we gave sessions on its development and usage, which is kinda simpler task. Giving trainings to freshers, on technical topics is another level of job altogether.
I volunteered for it. Not that I was interested in sharing my knowledge with the trainees...rather it was of a compulsion to secure my appraisal ratings.
Yes my dear friend, my company expects me to take 2 certifications (one technical and one domain) in a year, conduct 2 trainings, receive a few more, submit some learning assets to the company's internal portal site, create two reusable components in a year, not more than 1 unplanned leaves per quarter...and of course maximum customer satisfaction with zero slippage on deadlines...and more!!!

And we thought, Hitler was dead!!!

To safeguard my appraisal ratings, I took up this training on Hibernate. It went on pretty okay...the first five minutes I was a little nervous, but later I am sure the class got jumpy of me. I kept asking a lot of questions to the back benchers and the smiling faces. Very soon, there were no more smiling faces in the class room.

Well...overall it was a not-so-bad experience
At least I could get the fear out of me...
