Age 32-33 (3) Three trainees I couldn't beat in typing
One of my competency has been speed and accuracy in data entry.
I knew it through a job assessment in 2006, the second year I was going to the local job rehabilitation center.
It was feasible for me to chose data entry job as my first job.
I had confidence in typing since when I was in university, and I was into several typing learning games, and sometime getting amazing scores. Before I went to a job training in 2008, I had been able to type 330 times a minute, which enabled me to enter over 200 Japanese characters per minute.
When I began to go to the job training in 2008, I did a data entry job entering data of tickets of some kinds. I worked with one or two leaders, and one or two fellow trainees. One of the trainee had clearer trait of autism, but he had superior speed. My strong point there was accuracy in input. Actually, I was extremely worried about mistakes (and I am even now), so I hated the work of checking data. Although my accuracy was worth trusting, I was always afraid that there may be some errors in my eyes and attention. This made me less mentally stable. The other fellow trainee usually did other works and seldom did the same data entry work I did, but when trainees began to do another data entry job, I worked together with them and with other trainees, and I found that she also had superior typing speed and even accuracy. This frustrated me much, and I sought my extra competence in higher standard of judgement and being ready to answer the other trainees' questions about the work.
Meanwhile I brushed up my typing skills, hoping to beat these "rivals", and finally my typing speed reached over 400 types and 263 characters per minute. In this period, I found another trainee who also had superior typing skills.
Looking back on this training period, I was too complacent about my data entry skills, which was a (inappropriate) one source of self-esteem, and which was also one reason my self-esteem was easily hurt.
