Even though they can seem like small things, at the beginning you are trying to do your best to impress and can feel a bit helpless when the phone rings and you realize you don't know how to answer it. I also included instructions on how to use some of the equipment that I needed to use such as the telephone, photocopier and fax.

Your boss calls you up and tells you that you need to add an agenda to this meeting, but you don’t want everyone to get the meeting request again and have to accept/decline it. Trust me, people start to get irritated when this happens over and over again.

Plan out an agenda of all points that will need to be discussed. The Timekeeper would make sure each topic is covered within the amount of time mentioned on the agenda. If the person isnt responsible for any of the items discussed in this meeting, dont invite them. Delegate a person to be a a Facilitator, a Timekeeper and a Scribe.

It is impolite to blurt out or cut people off, you wouldnt do it in an in person meeting, dont do it on a phone call. Always start on time and do your best to end on time by following the agenda and "table" topics that require more discussion. Distribute the agenda/handouts prior to the meeting. Start on time and end on time.
