and out of work. Dealing with people can be very annoying, because each of us has a different view on life and how things ought to be. Try your best to speak to your boss, but in a polite and respectful way. Always remember that a good job is hard to find and one should be professional under all situations. Another brilliant way of dealing with your boss is by studying him. Notice the signals he or she sends; pick up on body language as well as spoken language. Figure out your boss’s agenda. Then, you’ll be able to read your boss better, understand what he or she is telling you and decide the best course of action. And don’t be afraid to ask your co-workers for help. Get yourself ready to help in the work, and always look on the positive side of things. If your boss says he or she needs something done, don’t say, “That’s impossible.” Say, “I’m on it.” If you were in your boss’s position, wouldn’t you want someone telling you that they’re on board and ready to help?
