Today I volunteered to get some real world experience and get a job.
I was receiving instructions from one of the leaders in the morning and I felt like my eyes were glazing over and I wasn't quite understanding.
It was like every time she told me something I forgot the last thing.
I think she noticed too because she was looking at me in a certain way that said "Are you listening?"
Will this stop with practice?
If I keep volunteering would my ability to take instructions and do a job improve?
I'm really nervous about this because I'm going into aged care soon and I want to be able to perform well.
Thanks
>Will this stop with practice?
Yes
If she asks if you are listening, tell her you are trying to.

Sounds to me like you haven't slept well the night before.

Take notes. Write things down. Lots of people use writing as a way of drilling something into their heads.
Show the notes to the instructor. Ask "Did I miss anything? Did I get it all right?" You may think this will make you looks stupid - but you'll look a lot more stupid if you don't remember instructions and foul up.
And refer to the written instructions until you've fully learned them.

Take notes when someone is talking about something important.
