Hi guys. I phoned my dad to tell him I had stopped smoking. He called me a quitter.
I am from Salvador and now study English, please tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "Get tips and advice on resumes, interviews, getting a raise, coping with coworkers, changing jobs and more."
Thank :D Gerda.

never enter sales
Never become a salesperson. Most salespeople are ruthless and shady snakes who they make life difficult for those of us who are decent people.
A cleaning conscious is priceless.

Disagreements with "authority" and becoming noticed
Pick your fights with management and supervision carefully. Don't make an issue of something unless you have the "high ground" to discourse from. Otherwise, you may wind up like Don Quixote, tilting at windmills and acquiring the reputation of a malcontent.
Quiet competence gets you nowhere. Whenever you write an important memo, especially one dealing with instructions or setting/explaining policy, be sure to copy a member or members of management (whether or not appropriate), not so much to receive recognition as to be noticed. It will also give your memo(s) an aura of authority. If unsure of the reaction, copy management first, then wait a couple of working days before releasing/ distributing the memo to principal recipients, to be on the safe side.
