PAUL MAXWELL
CAREER CURIOUS
Theres always a feeling of anxiety when your doing something new. Even if its something you've been comfortable on doing for 8+ years. I was told that I've BEEN ready for a job like this, I was practically already running everything without the authority. Now that I have been given this kind of opportunity, I can prove to be something far more valuable than just someone over looking a property.
So far, I've shown how responsible and ready I am from the managers above me. They are impressed by my answers and the fact that i seem to have everything ready. The people that I work with are responding positive. Handle one obstacle at a time. Write them down and check them off.

It literally takes hours to set up a schedule! Especially coming up with something from scratch. It'll be easier once the template is done and from the sounds of it, everyone is willing to help out with the transition. There were already a couple who said they understood that its going to be a rough patch. The fact that they are willing to help and assure me of their services really helps with the tension.
Before the job, I tend to worry about the scheduling deep in my mind. Although I wasnt the manager, i just wanted to make sure the booth is running efficiently. Now, it's literally part of my job. The few weeks need to go nicely for the training of the greeters, that way we have people who are able to run the booth as needed. Do NOT forget about your team, keep your promise of sharing resource. Share information on company positions for them to get out of the part time category. The only way for you to show that you are serious about it, is through time. Continue to listen to them and value what they do. You now make more than they do, getting a well earned coffee is worth it. |
Paul MaxwellDivorced man. Proud Father. Took alot out of me to make it to my position as an Area Manager. I know it's not saying much, other people are doctors while others are lawyers. Guess thats the struggle of middle class life? Can't say I hit the jackpot with everything, divorce finalized and my ex wife is basically the bane of my existence. Doesn't make it easier on our boy. Anyway, follow me on my roller coaster of experience. 8:30-3:30 (6.5)
