Outcast Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 Never refuse to learn anything or take training and never take an 'it's not my job' attitude to anything. Take every chance you're given to learn. Don't get involved in office politics if you can help it.
westernxer Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 Don't date or have sex with your boss or co-workers. Especially the married ones.

JayKay Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 Be a team player. Always ask if someone needs help if they look overwhelmed. Even if you have nothing to do, act busy. Re-organize files or find something productive to do. Don't play games on the computer and don't take non-emergency personal calls. Dress neatly and professionally. Show up on time and don't call in sick (unless you absolutely have to) Don't try to cover up mistakes. If you make a mistake, own up to it and ask what you could have done differently. Good luck! I'm sure you'll do fine
