This is part 2 of Monday’s post, 10 Career Poisoning Moves to Avoid.
- 6.) An office romance. Disastrous under any circumstances.
- 7.) Not taking some risk. You must push yourself outside your comfort zone to grow. If you don’t grow as a professional you loose your marketability.
- 8.) Having no career goals. Career goals keep you focused on the direction you want your career to take and how to get there.
- 9.) Neglecting your image. Presenting a positive image includes: appropriate dress and grooming, being honest, the use of proper grammar and avoidance of profanity.
- 10.) Being indiscreet. If you are told something in confidence you cannot betray your source; this would come back to haunt you as you will never be trusted again. Additionally, the use of off-color jokes, gossip about co-workers, discussions of race or religion are not appropriate in the workplace.
