Laughing all the Way to Work

SEPTEMBER 13, 2008

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."

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. Too much information.
