Re: Career Advice that nobody mentions
Always keep your appointments? And if you can't let the other party know at the earliest?

Don't talk too loudly? If the person in the next office can hear you, you are disturbing that person.

If you call up a vendor for information make sure you circle back with them to let them know your decision. They appreciate it. Even if they didn't win ur business
Don't gossip. People won't trust u. And won't take it seriously.
Pick ur battles.
Share. What you give , in a good organization you get double back.

My field is business consultancy and Recruitment. Advise on B.Consultancy is that you got to be crude , spot on with it and always have conviction. Everything depends on it.
In Recruitment, the advise i never got but learnt with experience was , the more honest you are , the better your clients ( candidates and employers ) will respond to you.

Employers can work with you on skills to some extent, but if you have a bad attitude, you won't get very far

I**sn't this a game of having a honest perception but actually lying through your teeth? I guess that it is an art that you don't lie too much that you don't deliver on your promises.
