You will be sent to a base to fly a few days with an IOE captain. He/she will show you how we conduct our flights. Don't feel bad if things don't click right away, they will soon. It can get very busy as an FO before the flight. I recommend the following sequence.

1) Fill out any information that you can on the load manifest form. (Dept Apt, Dest Apt, Date, Tail #, etc.)

2) If you have your release, fill out the rest of the load manifest.

3) Get the atis.

4) Get your clearance.

5) Set your frequencies for Ramp, Ground, Tower, Departure.

6) When the ground crew gives you the load info, finish the Manifest form.

You will get used to this flow very quickly and will become second nature to you, especially after doing it 4-6 times per day.

You probably will not be able to go home during this period. It will usually take 3-4 days, depending on how well you do. Best of luck to you, see you on the line.
