Now on to managing people. To be a good manager takes time. First basic rule is don’t just people to do something. Ask them to do it. Depending on the person find out if they need help or just leave them alone and check up every once in a while. The first couple months will be you feeling them out and them feelings you out. Coming in as a young person may make it difficult if the employees are older than you. Show them you can do the job and gain their respect.

Relax. I’m assuming that you got the job. GREAT! You will spend your first weeks getting yourself familiar with the company, company policies, and company practices for your job that are currently in place.

I’m assuming that this job is already in place, if not you will still need to do these things. Don’t Worry rather just Work… you’ll surprise yourself by “knowing” what you need to do.

Remember one other thing too. You will be a management position with three assistants (clerks, etc) use them, find out by experience over time, what each is best at and what they like to do, and put them in charge of those area, if possible. but regardless, delegate.

I was a customer services supervisor, (three gals worked for me) for a service concern (we dyed material for clothing makers). I enjoyed all aspects of the job, I leaned a lot, and got a lot of satisfaction from the work.
