College and Business Counselors and the Advice that they GiveOften College students complain that their counselors gave them bad advice. Sometimes these students complain that they were put into the wrong classroom, major or the career guidance counselor gave them bad information. Most major colleges and universities have a job placement program and they do a pretty good job of placing between 60 and 90% of all their students in Fortune 500 companies.But merely being placed in a good job to which you are not suited can be very problematic to your future, not to mention your mental health and stress level. It does not ju Never mind being irritating, if your email gets in the wrong hands you will be perceived as a lazy worker and depending on the content of the email, could even be fired! Never barge into a colleagues’ cubicle! Treat their space as if it was an office with a door. You would need to knock to come in whether the door was opened or closed so a cubicle should be no different. Knock on the desk or ge Business Card Printing Costs IIYou can even improve on that figure in the long run, if you're willing to invest a little bit of money at the start. A good laser printer can handle card stock, and the Avery corporation manufactures business card printing kits that include pre-perforated card stock sheets and software plugins for standard word processing and desktop publishing software. This allows you to lay out and design your card yourself, print it, and finish it without taking your business to the copy store and paying a markup. And if you're willing to spend the money on a good laser printer, What Not To Do in Your Cubicle!- Do place pictures of your family, relatives and friends on your desk but limit it to about 4 or 5 pictures maximum. You are not in jail. You will likely see some of these people when you go home. A collage of photos on your desk not only makes you look like a daydreamer, but it is very cluttered and a bit inconsiderate. Keep it simple and everyone will be happy. Also, no photos of nude men/women or anything that is offensive to other colleagues such as vulgar pictures or calendars. Not only is it rude, but you’ll likely have your HR department speaking to you very soon!
- It is never okay during office hours to use your speaker phone! This is loud, distracting and just plain rude! Unless your cubicle has a door and a roof, I don’t recommend this. Use a headset if you would like to be hands-free from the phone while on a conference call or taking notes on a call. This not only is quiet but it is great for keeping noise out while your are not on the phone and simply just typing or working on a presentation etc.
- Do not make personal phone calls to family and friends that involve arguing, raising your voice or offering personal details. This is an office, not your living room! You not only look like a fool, but you embarrass yourself and others with this behavior. If you’re really lucky you might even have rumors spread around the office about you.
- Don’t send jokes or other junk email at work to your friends or cubicle neighbors. Colleagues are at work to make money and get their job done, not read your endless jokes. Never mind being irritating, if your email gets in the wrong hands you will be perceived as a lazy worker and depending on the content of the email, could even be fired!

Franchising Regulatory Issues UnresolvedMost in the franchising industry are too afraid of the Federal Trade Commission to speak out against their abuses of power. Most attorneys kiss their rear ends to make sure they are not closed out of the loop, insuring that they get positive opinions on areas of law when they ask for an interpretation. Lawyers in the franchising industry are careful to hob knob with the regulators to help their clients positions and often have brilliant comments, kiss butt style letters and extremely warm words for the FTC’s franchising groups endeavors. But alas, there is a completely commend this. Use a headset if you would like to be hands-free from the phone while on a conference call or taking notes on a call.

Orthopraxy, Not OrthodoxyA few months ago, author, pastor (and my homeboy) Jim Henderson educated me on the difference between orthoDOXY and orthoPRAXY:The word orthodoxy comes from the Greek ortho ('correct') and doxa ('thought').The correct thoughts.The word orthopraxy comes from the Greek ortho ('correct') and proxis ('action').The correct actions.Traditionally, these two words are used in a religious context.Of course, that’s not what I’m talking about.This is about business. About relationships. About life.SO HERE’S THE QUESTION: Wh Never mind being irritating, if your email gets in the wrong hands you will be perceived as a lazy worker and depending on the content of the email, could even be fired! - Never barge into a colleagues’ cubicle! Treat their space as if it was an office with a door. You would need to knock to come in whether the door was opened or closed so a cubicle should be no different. Knock on the desk or gently let the person know you are there. If they are on the phone, it is a no-brainer, don’t interrupt! I can count the times that people used to come and sit on my desk just to chat. Treat everyone’s space with respect even though you share the same office space.
- As a basic rule, keep your voice down. If you are on the phone, great, but remember so is everyone else. Especially if you are just chatting on your lunch hour with a colleague be cognoscente of the fact that other people are still working and their schedule is different than yours.
- Don’t play music at your desk during working hours. This should seem like an obvious point but I’m surprised at how many people do it! With all the music we can download from online services and our own CD’s and of course the radio, many still like to feel as if they are in the comfort of their own home. If you have to listen to music, use a headset! Remember just because you enjoy what you are listening to doesn’t mean the people around you do. So, loud or not-use your ear phones.
- Depending on your job role you might be given a cell phone, remember to keep the ringer on low or use the vibrate function. A common complaint in the offices I have worked in is that so-and-so’s phone rings so loud and is distracting. It is always best to use the vibrate setting.
- Again, you need to remember you are not in your living room. Taking off your shoes and roaming the office in your socks, or worse- barefoot is unacceptable office behavior. Not only can it look unprofessional but it can often scare your cube-mates off with t
