I just started a new job on Monday, however I dont think that my boss likes me very much.?
Answer:
Here are my suggestions:
#1: Don't let yourself fall into an overly-submissive role. You never want to respond to her show of anger by lowering your ears and skirting away with your tail between your legs. You need to be (or at least appear) 100% unphased by her anger.
#2. Play it out in the moment. You don't want to go to her the next day and talk about it. You need to address the problem right as it's happening.
#3. Be straight-forward but professions. Right when she seems to be getting annoyed, say "You seem to be getting annoyed. I know I'm asking a lot of questions, but I just want to make sure I don't make any mistakes because I really want to do well here." That changes the tone of the situation and puts it into perspective for her that you're her employee and you want to do right by her, and she needs to be a good boss. Her tone should change instantly if you deliver it well.
#4. Ask for suggestions. Perhaps there is someplace else where you can get answers to your questions (other employees, job manuals, etc.) Perhaps it's not your questions that's the problem, but the timing. If you're approaching her constantly, that will annoy her (I wish you had mentioned what type of job it is) But if it's an office job, you might want to gather your questions and ask her if she has some time to go over them with you, and ask them all at once from a list. You need to come across as professional and organized, and gathering your questions up to present to her at her convenience would demonstrate that.
#5. If all else fails, take notes! If she says you just need to remember more, smile and tell her "Oh, I didn't realize i was being repetitive. Well, tell you what, from now on I'll carry a notepad and take notes so I don't need to keep bugging you. Does that sound like a good idea?" If you are asking the same questions, then taking notes will be the answer.
That is my advice. Good luck!
be patient, allow time for you both to get to know each other.
Give it a week or two before you say or do anything. Could be she is having some personal problems.
take a moment and go to her office. close the door and tell her you two need to talk.
tell her that you are here to learn something new. tell her that you dont know much about whats going on and would rather ask questions then do anything wrong.
ask her if its a problem that you keep asking her quesitons. and if she says yes or no, ask her if there is another person who you can go to when you have a question.
make sure you let her know that you are very interested in the company and that you want to do your best and that would include asking quesitons until you feel confortable doing things on your own.
good luck
Try to learn as much as you can on your own. After that, you can ask your boss or a co-worker who is willing to be a "mentor" to you. Good luck!
She may be having some emotional problems in her life and is just letting them show some at work. Or maybe she really doesn't like you.
Try to ask someone else the question when she isn't around. I had hired someone, and she continued asking a lot of questions. eventually I was told to let her go (that wasn't her only problem but did contribute) I liked her but she continued asking the same questions over and over. be sure not to do that. If you need to I suggest a note book to write all your questions down in and then the answers. (my girl eventually did this but it was a bit to late) good luck
Obviously, don't ask so many questions. I assume of her? Talk to your co-workers, too. Work on blending in , finding out what is expected of you and perform your duties.
I've started out training new hires and have been asked the most mundane questions.Write them down and if you still need answers, ask at the end of the day or the beginning of the next day.
Stop ask her questions go ask the other people that work there question if she keep getting mad at you or get another job with a boss that does no get mad at you when you are just ask question.If you are new their she should not be getting mad at you she should be answering your question.That is what I think.
This is indeed a tricky situation you're in. I understand that when anyone starts at a new job, there will always be plenty of questions as one gets to know the new workplace. You would think that a boss would be happy that a new employee is conscientious with getting to know the way the organisation works, and therefore can become more efficient and productive. However, it is possible that this situation is nothing personal towards you at all, it could just be that your boss is annoyed because she's busy and snowed under with work.
In this situation I think I would try to scale down the amount of questions you ask your boss, and start picking the brains of your co-workers. In this way, not only will you stop irritating your boss, but you can get to know your colleagues better at work as well.
I hope this helps.

I think it is good that you are asking questions. However, consider the questions that you are asking. are they genuinely legit questions or are some of them rather simple ones that you could find out the answers to, by observing what is happening in the work place.
Write down or remember some of your most important questions, then approach your boss and ask her if there is an appropriate time (when she may not be quite so busy) so that you can ask a few questions, to help you work more productively for the company.
She probably isn't upset by the fact that you are asking questions, but perhaps by the timing. as she has her own role to perform.
If they are questions that won't impact directly on your work performance immediately, perhaps hold off for a few days as well, give her time to chill out, so to speak.
