How do I request extra help in the office from a manager?

Community Answer

Start by describing what exactly you need help with; this may involve keeping a list of all of your duties for a few weeks prior to requesting help. Detail to your manager how this work is overwhelming and why you need someone else to contribute.

How do I write a letter requesting my supervisor for a new office staff?

You might want to consider requesting an in-person meeting. Explain why you want it and why it would be better for the company. Be gracious and understand that any such request has a lot of considerations. Don't get angry if it doesn't go your way.

Community Answer

Three steps for begging: P,B,S: P, use pity to make them feel sorry for you; B, bribe them with money, exposure or anything else valid; S, put them in your shoes. Ask them how they would feel if they lost their dog. Finish by asking politely. Make sure you are polite the entire letter.

Community Answer

The first paragraph contains your introduction to the hiring manager. State where you saw the job posting, or who you met that referred you to the job opening, and why you wish to apply for this position. Second paragraph: This section responds directly to the posting itself.
