What are the three worst "career
eliminating moves" committed by
young professionals  that you
have seen?

Talking about colleagues and
thinking it won't get back,
complaining about
job responsibilities and not
following proper procedures.

Do you recommend a strategy on
how to handle a racist or sexist
comment or an unwanted
romantic pass in the office?  

You should talk to the person
aside from a group and mildly
explain you thought the remark
was inappropriate.  Ask that they
be more sensitive in their
comments about others.  First
attempt.  Document conversation.  
If it continues, report the
person to personnel and show
documentation of other remarks.

In the workplace, there can be in-
explicit signals to employees.
Some of these signals can be
positive or negative.  What are
some signals that you've
witnessed or experienced?  

Out of blue, boss invited coworker
to go for a ride with him and he just
wants to shoot the breeze;   
coworkers started to give "John"
copies of job announcements.
They were sick of his complaining.
My coworker unexpectedly
complimented my work in an email
and cc's the boss.
