LEED the way.

Not to long ago I had my performance review for my job....I have been at this company for nearly 3 years and a couple of months ago, back in April I beleive, we got a new boss....things were going ok, it was a rough transition because we lost quite a few people to a competitor. Then the new boss and I butt heads. I didn't like the fact that he tried to take on the whole office himself and several of my administrative task that I would normally do dissappeared. They just stopped coming. Invoices were transferred to another person so that finances could be tracked better, so for months I sat here with literally nothing to do. Then came time for my review. My new boss of 6 months was now going to give me my performance reveiw for the past year.

I didn't fair so well. I was very upset by his words and was ready to find another job. I expressed my feelings about how my duties seemed to diminish when he came on board....long story short, it was all aired out and now things are better than ever. I still love my job here and have recently been asked to take the LEED test and head up our LEED projects.

I have been studying the best I know how for weeks and plan to take it on the 22nd of December. As an Administrative Assistant, if I pass this test, it will be a feather in my cap. I will have a new title as being an LEED Accredited Prfessional. I am also hoping that this will mean job security and more pay.
