I am becoming a supervisor for the first time starting on Tuesday, any suggestions?

Dress like a supervisor.  People take their cues about your authority and expertise from the way you look first, then after that, the way you conduct yourself.  If you look the part, you will engender their regard from the first moment.  What you do after that depends on all of the skills that you have already accumulated to earn you this position.  In addition, it will make you FEEL like a supervisor which will help you to act like one.  Business suits are the safest bet for men or women.  If you don't have one, go to Ross or TJ Maxx and buy one.  Good luck.  You'll be great!

Just tell the supervisor you have a ton of things to do and need a personal day.  They will either understand. Or they wont.

Write the things down and start with something easy. You'll probably find yourself on a roll so tackle something big next and have a reward in mind for when you get evrything done.

Start by making a list of "must knows", things they should know when starting (aka competencies). Also include any relevant HR policies (sick days, vacations, ect) and company philosophies and mission statement. Allow time in this plan for return demonstation under supervision any task that they will be performing. Set an appropriate time line in which to complete the training. Once you see these lists on paper, creating the plan will be easy. Good Luck

I find it best to be very positive every minute of the day.  Sucking-up to the person who does the promoting also , sadly helps.  Don't gossip or listen to gossip.  Talk about events, places, things, but NEVER people. If you deal w/customers or clients, constantly go over & beyond the call of duty... it will get back to your supervisor.  Good Luck

First, replace the "To Whom" with the name of your supervisor.\n\nSecond, letters such as these should be short and to the point.\n\nFinally, "Don't think of a white polar bear!"\n\n\nI'll be you are thinking of a white polar bear.\n\nAvoid using "no" and "Not" in business writing.  Instead of "I do not want this to tarnish" try "I hope we can stay in touch on a professional level as I have enjoyed the professional relationships that I have developed here over these past two years."

I managed a clothing store for 2 years, and have done nothing but retail for the most part.  I asked the same ?'s for every interview.  \nTell me some things about yourself.\nWhat would you do if your supervisor made a decision you strongly disagreed with?\nTell me some of the characteristics of a supervisor you'd like to work for?\nHave you ever witnessed anyone steal anything?\nWhat do you consider a satisfactory attendance record?\nDo you have any restrictions regarding your availability?\nWhen we check your past employer references, what will they tell us about you?\nWe emphazise excellence and expect our employees to acheive high standards, how does this pressure make you feel?\nTell me some of your best qualities?\nHow about some areas where you could use improvement?\nDo you consider yourself to be organized, how?\nHow would you handle a situation if a friend who wasn't entitled to your discount asked you for one anyway?\nCan't think of any more!!!!\nHope that helps.\nWhatever you do, SMILE and make lots of eye contact.

First of all any experience you have in this area needs to be emphasized. List all of experiences you have no matter how small, showing them that you have an attention to detail, which is a great supervisor trait. List any skill you have as a people person as well as leader for they will be looking for someone who can do both. Last use references that not only give you a good endorsement but will ensure to them that you have unlimited potential and would be a tremendous asset to their staff and company. I hope this will be of some help to you and good luck on your new job.

That's something I wish all supervisors would use. Wanna be mine? LOL!  Try, maybe, a point system. Points for attendance, job completion, cleanliness, work ethics and maybe team work. You decide. Give them a time frame and reward them with, maybe cash, time off or a gift. Again, you decide. Be fair, be honest and most of all, be encouraging!  Good luck!

You need to be attentive your staff.  If your asking this question then your really haven't been.  One week or two days a week, depending on the volume of your staff, sit with a person and see what they are lacking in.  At the same time note who has the same problems and with what so you can tackle group training in distinct areas.  You may have to clean house if you feel some of your staff are not suitable for the job.  You may also want to re-arrange seating.  This is a great tool that is underestimated because of our grade school days.  After your training you should scatter those who are trained in different aspects so they can relay it to others.  This is solid cross training and a great time advantage for you because you will not have to cradle your staff and you can also see the innovation on who is the next in line to lead.

They should have an orientation where you fill out all the paperwork, then the first day your scheduled usually you'll either clock in first and then your manager will either train you or introduce you to your trainer. Your trainer is just going to walk you through the process and then let you try it one on one.

Be involved in your community, volunteer at local head start centers, do not hang out at bars (who wants to leave their kid with the local drunk?) get a back ground check, offer this to possible employers. If possible, bring a portfoilio with you to interviews. Include things such as awards you've been given, and things that you've created, like if you've ever written a children's story (even if it was while you were in school) or if you've ever made a game for children. Also, make a mock lesson plan for a week including small motor, gross motor, cognitive developement, art, science, math, and reading. The lesson plan will impress the interviewer, since this is a basic task expected of child care workers.
