Handling the Holiday Party

Your annual office party is probably just around the corner and it's important to realize that this event is still about business no matter how festive it may be. In order to avoid being office fodder for the Monday after the event here are some simple tips to keep in mind. Besides, do you really want to be remembered as the guy who danced like John Travolta at the party, or the woman who thought she looked good in the Britney Spears outfit?


· Find out the specifics of the event. Where it is going to be, what time it is, what is the attire and who is invited. Even though your spouse may know everyone you work with, if the invite is for office personnel only, abide by the invitation.
· Keep your attire professional. This is not the time to wear anything low cut, too tight, too short, or anything from the back of your closet left over from the 80s. Do take the extra effort to find out what the accepted attire will be.
· If spouses are invited you need to brief, or in some cases, debrief yours for the event. You have probably shared more with your spouse about office politics then you should have, make sure he/she does not spill the beans and get you into trouble.
· Office holiday parties are not to be missed. Even though you may not want to go, you need to make an appearance. This is still a business function and your attendance is expected.
· Be sensitive to different religious backgrounds. Wish party goers Happy Holidays as opposed to Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukah, you don't want to make someone uncomfortable for different beliefs.
· How much to eat? How much to drink? Who to dance with? Everything if fine, but keep it in moderation. One or two visits to the buffet table, one or two drinks, and dancing with your spouse and co-workers is all acceptable. Tread lightly when asking the CFO's wife to boogie down.
· Hold drinks or food in your left hand. Keeping your right hand dry and free of food debris in order to be able to shake the hand of party goers.
· Do try and mingle throughout the group. This is an excellent opportunity to network and introduce yourself to senior executives in the company. Keep your conversations light and do not concentrate on business. After an appropriate interval, excuse yourself and move on.
· How long to stay? It's best to arrive within 30 minutes of the start and stay at a minimum of an hour. This should allow you time to have something to eat, mingle and possibly dance.
· Keep all behavior appropriate. You don't want your actions captured on cell phones or security cameras and spread through office email in seconds. Your reputation will definitely be effected. Oh, and stay away from romancing your co-worker.
· Always thank your host or the event organizer. This will show your appreciation for the work involved and make you stand out from other employees.
Celebrate, have a good time, enjoy the successes of the year and be thankful for all that you have.

Resume keepers: Sometime the overlooked parts of your past are the most essential



Article takem from ChicagoTribune.com

By Christopher Nelson
Tribune Media Services

You might like to think you have the memory of an elephant but it's probably closer to that of a goldfish. And that's a problem when it comes to putting together a resume.

Try to remember all the wonderful things you've seen in life. Try to remember all the causes for which you've taken a stand. Try to remember everything you've done that will make you an essential asset to any company.

It's not easy. Very often, people overlook things they've done when piecing together their resumes. So if you're searching for ways to fluff out your credentials and bring some interested talking points to the table, ask the skeletons in your closet for help.

Ever been on a sports team? While saying you threw a pair of shin-guards on in the third grade might not make the cut, being on a competitive sports team can be appealing to potential employers.

"For sales or any revenue-generating jobs, participation in competitive athletics indicates a winning mental set that supports success in these areas," says Sally Haver, senior vice president of The Ayers Group.

The person looking at your resume can infer a lot about who you are through the activities you do.

"Getting to be an expert in any physical activity requires putting in the time, practice, dedication and skill-honing," says Haver. "This translates directly into your work ethic on the job."


Show off


If you've given a public speech or written an article for a publication, include it.

"Companies like to hire high-profile stars," says Haver. "They can show them off to their clients and use them as ambassadors to attract new business."

Haver says this same principle is used when schools hire top teachers.

"They use them in promotional materials to attract students and to reassure parents that their money is well spent," she says.

Whether it's the PTA or the Neighborhood Watch, if you're in a leadership position, be sure to mention it in your credentials.

"If you choose to lead outside your day job, chances are you choose to lead, in general, and will rise to the top at your company as well," says Haver. "It shows you as a well-rounded person with interests and activities outside the workplace."

But it's all bupkis if it means nothing to your potential employer. If you simply say that you play soccer and are a member of the PTA, what does it do for them? Nada.

"You can't say you're brilliant," says Jean Baur, author of "Eliminated! Now What?: Finding Your Way from Job-Loss Crisis to Career Resilience" (Jist Works, $14.95). "But you can prove that you're brilliant."

Instead of rambling on about different things you've done, be succinct and show your potential employer how your life experiences will bring something fresh to their company. If they don't receive any benefit from you and your extracurricular activities, why would they hire you?

Volunteering at the soup kitchen is great for a lot of reasons. Selflessly, you get to give back to the members of your community who are less fortunate than yourself. Selfishly, you get to put your selflessness on your resume.
