Before I left I went over my checklists a few times to make sure I had everything and it was stress free each day as I reviewed the lists and checked off the items to bring. The meetings were stress free and I was able to depend on my checklists and templates. It will make my life easier. 411 Look Up 411.ca

Having a buddy can take some of the stress off and give you assurance that you have someone you can depend on. Many times I am so thankful I had that quick chat or read that email that I was copied on as that was the exact information I needed when they were away. Yes, it is always nice to have a work buddy. 23, 1 p.m. 411 Look Up 411.ca

As an aside, pen and paper will suffice if I have to, but you can see that the checklist can help avoid any unnecessary stresses from happening. Another thing to put on your checklist if you are using a laptop is a memory stick. A memory stick is my back up if my laptop and I part ways. 411 Look Up 411.ca

An interview can be as stressful on those conducting it as on the person being interviewed if the conversation does not flow. A firm but short handshake is all it takes. Be prepared in the interview with your own questions too. I always like the interview to be a conversation, with both sides talking. 411 Look Up 411.ca

One of the things they stressed was to hire well. My former boss gave me an excellent reference on paper and by phone. A good reference can go a long way towards getting your next job. I read an interesting article on what management can do to prevent lay offs. They advised not to be so quick to hire someone just to fill the position.

You will also feel more in control of the situation and less stressed. Keeping yourself organized will give your boss assurance that everything is under control and they will feel more secure that you are handling things for them.

Perhaps we put a lot of the stress on ourselves because we feel that every e-mail has to be replied to immediately. When I have spoken to people who are extremely frustrated about the back and forth of e-mail, I have to wonder why they felt they needed to answer it so urgently in the first place. 411 Look Up 411.ca
