To Climb the Business Ladder, Quit Asking for Advice — Start Giving It

There is no shortage of advice out there for those looking to succeed in the workplace. Throughout your career, you’ll hear every piece of wisdom out there from “find a mentor ” to “ask lots of questions.” But what if more knowledge isn’t necessarily what you need to climb the corporate ladder?

9 Things You Should Never, Ever Lie About on Your Resume

So, you applied to a job and said you were proficient in Excel to make your resume stand out from the pack. Great. The only thing is that you aren’t exactly sure how all those little so-called “cells” and “formulas” work.

He strikes up a conversation with Dave, the two businessmen swap some off-color jokes about the folks over in Lagash not knowing a chair from a chariot and, boom, just like that a network is born. …
