Keep a personal file and never let it out of your sight. (2) Keep pressing forward.” Don’t let the past keep you from achieving the job of your dreams. Learn to manage up and make your job YOURS. (3) Be positive toward yourself.” Choose to be happy if you know that what you are doing is the right thing. Don’t let a bad manager bring you down to her level because you’ll regret it later in life. (4) Be careful about complaining to others who “pretend” to be confidants. Like in the movie Goodfella’s “those people who are going to whack you come to you with a hand and pretend to be your best friends”. There are a lot of people who are business colleagues, but very few who are friends. (5) Always tell the truth: Never be afraid to say you screwed up and never ever cover for a bad manager because in the end they will be found out and it will cost you in reputation. (6) Change jobs: Don’t give me the BS about how jobs are hard to find, they are out there if you’re willing to take the time and effort to look. Forget about the job title and to a certain extent the money. Ask yourself “which job is going to let me live the life I want to live and allow me to really contribute to my company's success?” (7) Learn how to manage up: Understand what communication is best to send to your manager and which communication is only going to cause more problems for you.
