By using divergent styles in different working environments I have mastered the skill of tongue twisting. Meaning that I am able to incline battalion I know what I am talking about and sacrifice them feel at ease when talking to me. This paper is going to prove devil working environments that are very different from adept some other and in both I used spoken style of manner of speaking to become accepted and good at my commerce. One of the jobs I worked at was, The Graduate ancestry library of St. Thomas University and the other was, Diversified plastics Manufacturing Plant. twain in comparison, were like nighttime and day. I will describe the two working environments and show the styles I had to inco rporate into each job. First, was the Graduate Business Library of St. Thomas University. This was a computer and business resource shopping centre that is located in the center of downtown Minneapolis, only blocks away from Orchestra Hall. The hoi polloi I worked with and assisted were primarily graduate students and professors. I started this job my newbie year and at first it was overwhelming the amount of research information and various business tools, that I had to know and use. I dont know how umpteen of you have ever had to work with graduate students and professors, but they are endlessly in a hurry and they are very demanding. At this job I needed to jump up from the freshman stereotypes and convince them I know what I am talking about. They had no time to get a line to a beginning year college student and their seasoned years of direct made it difficult to develop their respect. Now I, being the only night assistant realized that given my working environment I ha d to learn as much as I possible could to somehow gain their respect. Not so much respect for me, but respect that I was giving them my best effort and all the available resources our center had. By doing this, I developed a style in which I could convince others that and command them, instead of them commanding me. The style I categorized is one with authority and confidence.
