-: I think something that really helped me
was kind of making sure I networked with other dieticians.
So I know, before becoming a retail dietician,
I was in a spot where I was kind of functioning on my own.
I was working on my own project
but I still reach out to other dieticians
that worked in the same facility as me
and kind of picked their brains about
what they knew about the community,
what they knew about the population that came in,
and definitely I asked as many questions
as I possibly could.
So, I think some people get a little bit nervous
to ask questions but
just reach out to those that are around you,
your manager or your colleagues
and ask the question that you might not have the answer to.
I know that kind of pairing up with
one of my colleagues as a retail dietician
was really helpful because I was able
to kind of shadow her in the first month
and see how she ran her programs
at her store and kind of feed off that.
