Business etiquette: blunders quiz.
Office etiquette during the holiday season goes beyond knowing which fork to use during the company party. How you behave in the off-hours you spend with your co-workers can affect your entire year. Drinking too much can cost you a promotion or even your job, and shooting your mouth off can ruin your reputation as well as the reputation of others.
Jennifer was really happy with her new job and eagerly looked forward to the annual holiday party. With free drinks and great music, she really relaxed and partied hard. Several weeks later, she was disappointed when she found out that she did not get a promotion. She was shocked when she found out that her behavior at the party had gotten her the reputation of being a "loose cannon" or "party girl." She lost her credibility as being a good representative for a company position that required a lot of travel and business meals.

Knowing some essential tips can help you benefit from these opportunities without worrying about eating from the wrong salad bowl or not properly introducing your guest to your boss.
