text: how can i get positive recognition at my job? i am a part-time student and full-time secretary so life is a little hectic to begin with.  anyway there are five secretary's and we are each supposed to have two counselors who give us letters, invoice, travel vouchers yada yada to type up.  i have two counselors but two of the other girls only have one.  when we received our evaluations mine wasnt bad but all its said was "ms. *** does very good work" and on other people it was "ms. ** does exceptional work"  or "great teamwork!" and it annoys me because i know i do more than most of the secretaries here i have one counselor who has the largest caseload and one who has the highest number at the end of the fiscal year.  i am not the type to rub it in anybody's face but it depressed me and discouraged me when i seen my evaluation. ask your counselors on a regular basis how you're doing and what you can do to improve your work for them.  let them know you strive to be an exceptional employee and that you're open to suggestions.  that action there may be enough to push you up into the "exceptional" category.  i've seen it work.
