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."

That definitely can be a challenge. In todays working world it is probably the norm that we are going to work for more than one person, the question is how to balance it? The unfortunate part of this was that the person who was organized tended to get less assistance because the most time was spent on the disorganized person.

I had taken time off to raise my daughter and when I came back computer technology had gone from DOS to Windows and the Internet was becoming very popular. I was happy just to know how to use the computer. Finally, I asked her how she knew the answers and what was she doing to get the information? I shied away from it however.

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? Many young executives have never had an assistant before and are so used to not having one, that they don't know how to utilize one. 411 Look Up 411.ca

A manager has to have confidence that you know how to do your job. I had been for a short time years ago and thought it was just something I was not very good at, but years later, I became a manager again. I also worked by myself for many years and wondered if I would know how to share. Do you know what you are doing?
