Thank you for your information, I will definitely try that. It just really hard for me to believe, that there isn't more supervisors willing to help trainee's. When I went to appraisal school there were so many going who couldn't get any help, so I guess this question is for them, also. I'm wondering how all the supervisors got started, and I will definitely be helping as many trainee's as I can, when I get my license.
Hi Mr. Walker,
Truth is hard to accept. There are so many Trainees in the basket, across the nation, the supply is an absolute over-supply. This fact must be accepted. The fact doesn't say, give up. The fact just states a fact.
Instead of having the mindset of finding a supervisor, a switch in perception may assist a more strategic behavior. Instead of using the word, supervisor, which in my eyes, carry a different definition than, mentor, may have an affect on how someone approaches the issue of finding a stable acknowledgement. Finding a mentor, in my eyes, is different than finding a supervisor. Waking up everyday, with the goal of finding a mentor, may have a positive affect.
In my eyes, a mentor has a deeper meaning and, a more influential impact. The word, supervisor, is less responsive, by my experience. A mentorship provides a relationship that has an element or secret recipe in which a foundation may be built upon at a strong pace - instead of a shaky foundation that may be found within the realm of, if just supervision, is involved.
Its a game of perception (mind over matter). And, sometimes, reality; a relationship is much stronger than just supervision. The profession needs more relationships than just supervision, in my eyes. Communication depends on the relationship being engaged. Communication is somtimes the barrier or linkage between success and failure.
Just a suggestion, and my opinion. Maybe this is something you may be able to think about, then apply over time, if you may think it will help you.
Good luck to you, Mr. Walker.
Sincerely,
Benji
