Operator.

I start my on-the-job-training in the factory. The operator training lasted for 2 weeks.

Factory clothing must be clean at ins-and-outs. After my training, I went to the factory. Another trainer explained to me more about the procedures to do on the production line. The student wage is exceptionally high. It's higher than the minimum wage. The drawback is the impatience of the employers to explain. The employers are mainly men.
