			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the previous post, <a title="The plan" href="http://www.360flexpress.com/blog/2009/10/the-plan-for-day-1-of-360flexpress/" target="_self">I laid out the plan for Day 1</a>. It listed some overarching goals that I have for the training day, i.e. to get you hired or excel at your new Flex job.</p>
<p>Some of you are excited, but want a little more meat.  That&#8217;s understandable, since traditional training seems to be a focused on the Flex Skills, but not the other stuff you need to succeed.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s why 360|Flexpress is going to be different than a traditional training program.  I will be writing my own curriculum and exercises for you all to go through.  The list below is my table of contents for the day.</p>
<p>Over this week, I&#8217;ll go into more details on each section to give you a better idea of which each entails.  As you can see though, it&#8217;s going to be a great learning experience.</p>
