Yahoo Hot Jobs posted a some common sense rules on how to avoid sabotaging your job. Most of these are easy, but those with a carefree attitude might want to take heed to this advice, because there’s plenty of uptight people at the workplace.
- Keep your focus on the networking part of social networking
- Avoid sending a tweet in the heat of the moment
- Finding friends at the office is fine — but don’t look for love
- Appearances count around the office
- Practice proper email etiquette
- Think before you speak
- It’s good to be heard — but not all the time
- Just say “no” to complaining
- Handle alcohol with care
- Know the difference between sharing and oversharing
