If you saw my post on the forum board, you will see I just accepted a position to the CEO of our company.   I ran into my first challenge and decided to share what the issue was and how I solved it.  I will post future problems problems and well. (as they come up!)

Problem:  I had to pick up a box at the FedEx office, that required a signature of someone over 21.  Ok, I am over 21!  The problem was the package went to my bosses house and no one was going to be home (thus, why I went to the FedEx office).  I appears you have to have a valid ID WITH the address the package is addressed to.  I showed my business card, I tried to get them to call my boss, the lady would not release it to me. 

Solution:  I had to wait for the next day (no one would be at my bosses house again, so I had to trek back over to the Fedex off).  I ended up calling FedEx and explaining the situation.  We had a "trace" put on the package and my boss got on the phone (just for one minute) and told the FedEx, yes she can pick it up.  I took the confirmation number just to be safe.  To be double sure I could pick it up, I called the company who shipped the product and they also put a release on it. 

Fun fun fun!

Ok, these are ways to impress my boss.  They may or may not work to impress yours.  If you have different ways to impress a boss, why not share and post below!

5.  Arrive early to work.  My boss likes that, it earns brownie points.  Plus he has a personal pet peeve about being late.

4. Don't complain about situations, bring him solutions to obstacles.  (He is big into looking at things with a proactive view)

3. Do not gossip.  (Enough said)

2. Listen.  (Listen and undestand instructions so you don't have to be told twice and that you actually understand a situation or instructions.)

1. Do something extra without being asked to. This is number one!  What about yours?
