Hi guys, this isn't trying to be a pity thread but I genuinely want some advice from people who have been at this longer then I have.
This is my first real job straight out of uni and one that is a great entry level into multiple careers I'd love to go into. I've been there 4 months and basically working on 2 clients and been working directly under the account manager whose a great mentor.
The AM has now gone on holiday andI've been asked to take over whilst she's is gone. Within the moment she left emails came flying in and constant requests from people in the office to do stuff. I feel like I'm really out of my depth and I felt really rushed to get everything done. Only two people work on these accounts and ones super new and knows nothing and the other is so busy she's not in the office most of the time.
I basically ended up having to stay really late, not doing 80% of the stuff I needed to do and spent ages on the 20% because I initially did it wrong and then had to redo/figure out WTF I was doing and then basically broke down.
but I don't want to throw in the towel less then a day in because I want to show I'm capable but im afraid I've already fucked up.
for those account managers out there, how do you all manage your time and not worry when you're not in the office ? How do you decide what to do first or not do ? And howdo you not spend hours over one minor thing to make sure you're not fucking it up
many advice or kind words would be greatly appreciated
