Another point I would like to stress is to archive your e-mails for a certain period of time that either you or your company feels would be appropriate. You never know when someone would come back to you and tell you that they didn’t ask you to do a certain task. At least you will have proof of it.

When I needed to rebook my flight because my traveling companion became ill, I needed the help immediately. The agent could tell I was stressed, and she accommodated me in what I considered to be ‘double time’ in order to reschedule and reconfirm my flight. It helps us to manage our behaviors, moods, and impulses.

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.

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.

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.
