In response to Kelli’s post “How to Make Internal & External Clients Love You” I thought it would be a good idea to cover this subject a little more in depth. When it comes to dealing with our peers let’s face it, some of us are just born with the ability to impress, relate and influence others. On the other hand, some of us missed out on that chromosome in the gene pool. But hey, don’t sweat it, there’s still hope for the hard-working job seekers that desperately try to master these priceless skills
Don’t get ahead of yourself, I’m not saying there’s a miracle antidote that can turn anyone into a born-again leader, but there are methods that can help. Since Kelli has already provided a list of ways to impress clients, I thought it would be fun to take a look at a list ways NOT to impress clients.
Here’s a list of five things people should be concerned about after landing that first real job in their career.
Come in Late
- Come in late every day, and by that I mean after the flexitime window.
- Keep doing it even after gentle hints are being dropped about it.
Refuse to Get the Coffees
- Take every cup of coffee going, but seldom go and get them for everyone yourself.
- If you need a cup of coffee just get your own.
Knock People Down
- Belittle people when they make a mistake.
- Make sure everyone knows what an idiot they are.
- This should get you a few laughs each time, but once you’ve done it to everybody there will be less people laughing each time
Never Help Anyone
- If anyone asks for help, never help them.
- Just say “look it up” and hand them a manual, or better still, tell them which cupboard the manual is in.
Long Lunch Breaks
- Look upon the hour that you get for lunch as a minimum.
- Make sure that it is usually about an hour and a half to two hours.
