FAKE IT: Imagine you're an actress playing a sharp, professional career woman in a film then get into character. Walk tall, lower your voice and speak with authority and inject a little more jargon into your work-speak.
Avoid Saying "I Can't": No matter what your boss throws at you , rise to the challenge. If you've never done that Job before, find out who has and get some pointers.
Ask Questions: Say "I just want to clarify this to make sure we're on the same page" then find out what you need to know. That way you continue what you're doing with self-assurance and when the job's done there won't be mistakes.
Make friends: Make an effort to find out a little personal info about everyone from the reception staff and co-workers to your boss. Then follow up by asking them how that weekend away/dental appointment/hot date went. They will appreciate your interest and you will feel popular and liked.
Steer clear of bitching: People who are negative tend to bring you down and if you hang out with them you may say something you regret or worry that they're bitching about you the minute you leave the tearoom. Instead, be friendly and say hello, but don't weigh in on any of their discussions.
Forgive your mistakes: Remind yourself that making mistakes is all part of your career learning curve and will only make you better at what you do in the long run.
