I walked into Complete Family Eyecare before as a patient, but now I have the opportunity to go behind the scenes and see everything from the point of view of an optometrist. By participating in the mentorship program, it will give me real world experience of what an optometrist does in a professional setting on a daily basis. I hope to receive a better understanding of the optometry field and get a jump start on what I need to know for the future. To make sure I get this most out of this opportunity, I will ask tons of questions from different people to ensure I see all the different aspects of the career that optometry has to offer.
Initially, I was really nervous to walk into the office, but given the tips on how to make a good first impression, I felt confident in meeting the doctors and staff. First, was to have a positive attitude. Go in smiling and be ready to take on any task. Make sure to dress professionally and be on time. Attendance and punctuality helps build a reputation for reliability and trust. Talk twenty percent and listen eighty percent.
Given these tips, the first day went great! I witnessed so many intriguing things, and I can't wait to see more throughout the course of this year!
