4. You'll be asked which team member should be assigned to the job, and to enter any notes you have about the job already.

Only the team member assigned to a job will see it in their My Jobs page, and can work on it. Managers can always reassign Jobs between team members (and themselves) from the Team page.

If this is your first job, assign the job to yourself, so you can work on it.

Note: if you assigned the Job to a team member other than yourself, you will not see the Job here, since it's assigned to someone else. Managers can reassign jobs between team members from the Team page.
