On The Job

Don't interrupt when someone else is talking, don't gossip and don't exclude anyone. By listening to what someone else has to offer, you continually learn -- and that's critical for companies striving to compete in a global marketplace. Such images are demoralizing, of course. This goes beyond just saying "please" and "thank you."

I had a big learning curve going into it and I didnt know any of the other assistants so I felt all alone with my challenges. The problem that sometimes occurs with sharing with current co-workers is it can turn into office gossip. Having the opportunity to hash it out with another assistant is a great resource.

Share what you have learned with your boss. Putting the asterisk makes sure it is first on my list. There are many other things you can do with rules so take the time to check them out and feel your way around. It will be worth the effort. Most executives I know want the help and this would be a great way of organizing them.

Don’t Gossip Talking behind other people’s back is like putting your exhaustion pipe to somebody else door, while pretending you’re looking in a different direction. Learn how to assess imbalances, how to get rid of the deadlines (replacing them with livelines, that is) and how to create the life you want. Well, I dont. Great post.

The Attitude: The tango community can be quite the political, social, and gossip mega circle. In other words, it is possible to take on an attitude of being above the beginner dancers when you learn a few steps. She has a love for personal expression, writing, reading, traveling, tango and yoga. Well, I dont. Thank you so much.

But after working a few years in the traditional media world – which, by the way, is not a very friendly place to be, always challenged, filled with gossip and back talking – I felt the need for a change. Did you learned something? Rewind and start over. It will help both of us to get something out of this interaction.

It’s not all that bad once you learn how, but it’s not a job for wall flowers. I’ve also done the freelancing thing–learning to market myself, developing my money management skills and learned to juggle. In other words, the ability to work and travel. Smoke breaks with friends. This is a biggie.
