When I interview for a job I interview the person interviewing me and try to get a feel for whether we will work well together. Good boss, bad boss On one interview I went on, when I met the two men who would be interviewing me, I met the first one and thought, "OK, so he seems like a nice man and I could work with him."

What about in the office, are we asking our bosses to self-serve or are we providing quality administrative services? Some of the younger bosses are certainly qualified and know how to do some things administratively, but is it an efficient use of their time and is it good job security for us? That's a great point, Patricia.

I remember throughout the first week that I was there, when I asked a question on how to do something, someone would say, "its in the manual, did you not read it?" I think people forget how overwhelming everything can be when you start a new job. I basically know how to answer the phones and take messages. It is overwhelming.

That is why I suggest when you go to an interview you should ask questions and find out exactly what “providing administrative support&# means. If you approach your boss in a professional manner with the problems clearly set out and possible solutions, it will come across much better. very informative entry!
