I love it when companies put a little festive into the air for holidays. If you’re going to be at work anyway, you might as well have a good time, right?
We had a costume parade and contest at my work today, and a chili cook-off (14 kinds!) with tons of other good eats. There’s video footage, but it’s classified. All in all, not bad for a Monday. Click for pic!
Not going to the office party?You really should. Holiday excuse or not, getting together after hours with your co-workers and boss can really help propel your career upward.
How do you turn an event with co-workers into a great career opportunity? Our Twitter #careerchat found out!
Join our Twitter #careerchat Tuesdays @ 12 PM CT to talk about everything from friending your boss on Facebook to personal branding to how to get a call back from recruiter.
