When I first began working at the company, I was the youngest member of the staff. There was an older woman who really "knew the ropes" and when I first got there she barely acknowledged my presence. I discovered that she thought I was too young to successfully fulfill my duties. I did my job and took every opportunity to make a good impression. I was a very diligent worker and behaved in a highly professional manner at all times. After about two weeks she came up to me and told me how impressed she was with me. She apologized for ignoring me and took me under her wing sharing what she knew with me.
