I am the team assistant in a small venture capital firm. Everyone except me went to Harvard Business School. I am terribly concious of this. They lunch together and I am always on my own and excluded from conversations, plans and activities. I would like to get more involved but I don't know how. No one ever seems to be interested in what I have to say and so I act in an aloof manner, as if I don't care. That does not help. I need advice. |

...do you want to fit in? If so, subscribe to the Harvard Business Review, read the articles, and have something intelligent to say about one of them, just before lunchtime. Post to the HBR web forum, they often reprint well-written postings in the HBR itself... if you've got your name in there, even in the smallest capacity, you will have instant karma with HBS alums.
If they are deliberately avoiding you, then bide your time and look for an exit opportunity.
