I was a complete nervous wreak but managed to come across as out-going, confident and interesting… sure alcohol did help with that one… . Thinking about my goals before the big interview meant that I was pretty focused during the meeting and was able to portray myself as confident and assertive.

We have to be experts at IT, we have to have great people skills and we have to be assertive and confident to be able to handle all of the daily tasks asked of us!

If our manager’s take little time to help us set good objectives (again this is fairly common) how do they know what to judge us on? I’ve added a few dual objectives that I shared with my manager so that we both had something to work on together throughout that year…. The first large commercial event is in July 2014.

Every day, we can face conflicting views, opinions, approaches to a project or differences about when to host an event. You don’t feel confident or happy when you are in conflict with co-workers or even a customer. Use assertive communication techniques. I’m not referring to full-blown, yelling at each other. Take Charge.

I was purposely brought in to help these assistants manage change, build strategic partnerships with their managers, learn how to be more proactive, and build peer synergy. This was a mandatory training event and sometimes when employees are told they must attend training, they get a little defensive.
