I admit, there have been loads and loads of times I wanted to tell my boss I’m not doing something they’ve asked me to do.

Yes, I had got up to make the odd cup of tea or make a quick trip to the bathroom but I hadn’t been out for lunch or in any meetings that day so effectively I had been sitting in my chair at my desk for a good 8 hours. Highlighter pen – I don’t seem to use these much anymore but worth keeping handy. Eraser – for correcting mistakes.

In my last blog I wrote about interview questions regarding career development and a few example answers. When asking a competency question the interviewer will ask you to give an example from your past experiences rather than answer in general terms. In this blog I want to concentrate on competency or scenario based questions.

On the outer edges of my desk, I place extra pens, pencils, highlighters, ruler, scissors, tape, tissue, stapler, Post-it notes, staple remover, lotion, hand sanitizer, and an extra phone if possible. Having the extra set of supplies for them makes it so much easier for them to do any final stapling or leaving notes for my executive.

You’ve chosen the area you want to build influence in, for example travel, business or food. Do you only make food using kitchen staples? For example, a travel blogger might focus on destination tips, hotel reviews and airport hacks. In reality, this just uses up time and energy you could put towards making monetizable content.

Meeting minutes are a staple of all Board meetings, and many internal company meetings, as they serve as an official written record of a meeting to aid in future decision-making and fill in employees who couldn’t attend. Examples include companies that don’t have a Board Secretary or instances where the Secretary cannot attend.
