Be confident. To be able to network, you must have confidence. You need confidence in yourself, confidence in your abilities, and confidence in your networking skills. One thing Ive learned over the years is that an arsenal of compelling stories and anecdotes related to my career can be extremely useful.

I read something that made me pause, but because I was in a big hurry and felt confident that the other person was covering that base, I let it go. I am not sure if it would have changed the outcome, but at least I would feel confident that I flagged it for my boss. Lesson learned and will now put me on high gut alert. (New

I have been on some interactive sites where assistants ask questions and get answers and I learn from them as I have some of the same questions. Lunch n learns are also a good way to learn from each other. Administrative newsletters or bulletin boards where you can post tips or suggestions is a good way to learn.

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.

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. Writing on a subject you know nothing about is a good way to learn something about that particular topic.

If you are a new hire, take the time to learn and ask questions. I always feel more confident when a new hire asks me a question and gets all the information before proceeding. The first months on the job are a learning and growing experience. Take advantage of this time to learn as much as you can and ask, ask, ask.

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 have always liked to share and learn from my co-workers. I am good at some things, but not as confident in other things. 5, 2010 at 12 p.m. (New

I can honestly say that even though it was a hard time to go through, I ended up getting a much better job and a better opportunity and can look back on it as a good learning experience. My former boss gave me an excellent reference on paper and by phone. If you do have to leave, dont forget to ask for a reference letter.

I feel confident as I check off each item that things will be done on time. I had a notepad and pen with me so continued the minutes by hand, but it was a lesson learned to check in the bottom right hand corner of my computer to see if I actually have power. No surprises! Choose New. My battery power died half way through the meeting.

It also eases your bosss mind when they see you write it down, it gives them confidence it will be taken care of. Sometimes e-mail is not the best way to communicate and it needs to be followed up by a phone call or face-to-face short meeting. Once you have a handle on that, then you can go about learning your job.
