A manager has to have confidence that you know how to do your job. I just did not have confidence that this person was going to be able to assist me. I always have more confidence something will get done when I see it being written down. Here are some reasons I think managers can get possessive: Im not sure I can trust you.

So I started to say Yes and it was a real confidence booster. But when I turned 40 I told myself that I would regret not doing it if I didnt try and what was the worst thing that could happen anyway? I started telling myself more positive messages and it empowered me to try. I think I can, I think I can.&# Now that’s positive self talk.

Buying a new outfit or wearing a freshly dry-cleaned suit will go a long way to increasing your confidence level. It puts you in the right frame of mind for what you are doing and then you can get down to business. The same applies if you have a job interview or a new challenge at work. What about your work space? 23, 1 p.m. 411 Look Up 411.ca

I always feel more confident when a new hire asks me a question and gets all the information before proceeding. Your new employer is not expecting you to know everything right away and it is in everyones best interest that you proceed cautiously at first until you know the ropes. I dont see it as a weakness, but as a strength.

I can interact where I am now, but I have to get up and go if I want to speak with someone and then when I get there I may find they are busy or on the phone so I have wasted my time. I am good at some things, but not as confident in other things. Of course there is a down side to being able to do that. 411 Look Up 411.ca

From writing that article I had confidence to take a job that required me taking minutes and it has turned out fine. I will not say I am the perfect minute taker, but it is something I now have confidence in doing. At the end of it, I knew how to take minutes and could write about it. 411 Look Up 411.ca

This is something you really need to experiment with and you will gain more confidence to order less and know there will be enough food.

My former boss gave me an excellent reference on paper and by phone. Be selective and go for the job that is the right fit and that you have confidence you can do. If you do have to leave, dont forget to ask for a reference letter. A good reference can go a long way towards getting your next job. The same can be said for employees.

I also like people to show confidence by shaking my hand. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul and it is true, you can tell a lot by someones eyes so if you are not looking at me I wonder what you dont want me to know about you. Other handshakes felt like they were trying to break mine. 411 Look Up 411.ca

It also eases your bosss mind when they see you write it down, it gives them confidence it will be taken care of.
