The art of saying thank you can sometimes get lost in our busyness, but here are some examples of times it would be nice to send a card from work: To thank presenters who speak at your workplace.

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.

If the meeting is internal, I send a meeting request, but for external meetings I tend to just confirm with them the meeting details by phone or e-mail. Much easier than searching in Outlook and less stressful. As I hear from the different parties I can put a check mark or an X whether they are available or not. 411 Look Up 411.ca

Humour is a powerful stress reliever if done in good taste, but timing is everything. Its not that Im funny, because Im not, but I find a lot of things funny.

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.

Internal e-mails amongst co-workers should have a business tone to it as well, although less formal. Perhaps we put a lot of the stress on ourselves because we feel that every e-mail has to be replied to immediately. Spelling, grammar and punctuation should be paid attention to and you should keep in mind the tone of your communcation.

You usually answer according to what you see on the display and say “Hi&# , thinking it is an internal call, but they are transferring an outside call so you end up sounding unprofessional. When the Receptionist, or a co-worker, transfers a call without letting you know they are sending it. I shut it off! How important is it, really?
