I find it is best to put your to-do list in electronic form and typed in order of top priority. I usually put a subfolder in my project file for the to-do list, or if it is a small project, I staple it to the inside of the folder. It can also be a great accountability tool to keep everyone on track and progressing through each job.

Considering this task is not the staple part of our profession I can still imagine your answer to be ‘quite often’. Instead of another form of communication. How often do you organise events? Why are you holding an event? Events can be expensive especially if they are for team building or internal training.

I think at the time his position in the company was under threat and to compensate he would try to exert power over me by giving me very menial tasks, for example he would ask me to fill his stapler with staples, which could be quite disrespectful. Can you give me an example of great customer service?

It’s best not to gossip or form secret alliances. On the outer edges of my desk, I place extra pens, pencils, highlighters, ruler, scissors, tape, tissue, stapler, Post-it notes, staple remover, lotion, hand sanitizer, and an extra phone if possible. Be willing to learn a lot, wear a lot of hats, not complain, and follow their lead.
