Jamie's Career Tip of the Day

Jamie's Career Tip for this Friday is...

Try to avoid office gossip. It always gets back around and will hurt your credibility no matter what position you are in. If you are having problems with a colleague pull them aside one-on-one and try to have a calm conversation stating facts never attacking them personally. If for some reason this doesn't work then go to management. My biggest tip is give everyone the benefit of the doubt ... you never know whats going on in their lives and 99% of the time their bad attitude has nothing to do with you. "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" is a great book to help you with these instances.
