Quote The Raven: The Golden Office Rules

Here it is– another episode of #QuoteTheRaven, TheJobNetwork.com's expert job-seeking & job-keeping web series! In this episode, host and job-keeping extraordinaire Raven Chiara welcomes special guest, Gary Bandit. Brace yourself for tried & true advice that's going to keep you at your job & out of HR. Watch the video & check out the tips below! https://youtu.be/dGplzscaFC4 Tips in this episode include: How to talk about your weekend: Went to Burning Man last week? Maybe don't highlight the spiritual-drug-filled-mind-beinding-life-altering-rave-naked-bug-filled extravaganza to your Don Draper-esque CEO. Instead, focus on the nature and fresh air...and put it in a British accent. Or how about a game of squash? That already sounds responsible...here comes that promotion, Junior! Compliments and jokes with your coworkers: Bad jokes suck. What's worse? Offensive bad jokes. Avoid making a crack about someone's race, religion, creed, and orientation. Besides, Creed fans are bizarrely defensive. Discussing a woman's looks: Stay away here, especially all the guys out there. Nobody wants to mistake something you say for SEXUAL HARASSMENT. Raven and Gary suggest the only safe thing to say, if you really want to, is "nice nails". Speaking of nails, stop clipping your nails at your desk...or at work. #gross Food habits in the office: Your food is good. I am sure you think so. The rest of us think it smells foul. Just stop. You know it stinks. You are self-conscious about it. Don't blow up the microwave with last night's fish and chips leftovers. Please. Stop. Now. Use the hashtag #quotetheraven and tag @thejobnetwork, @ravenchiara, or @whybegee to let us know what you think of the show, your nightmare stories from the office, and any questions you have about job seeking and job keeping. ------ Missed the previous episodes?
