A promotion will never come down to if the hiring manager happened to see you across the room (which he probably didnt) at the holiday party.Evan Wrote:ps- If you think going to any company function gets you promoted, you are kidding yourself.
Think of it like this, you and a person equally qualifed for a promotion/better position,
you can put out the exact same "team player" social, outgoing persona without going to corporate events. You can get to know managers better at other places than those corporate events. Know why? Because every corporate cocksucking peon like you is trying to do the exact same shit.
And even when you do go to those events, if you arent schmoozing, you are wasting your time. Just showing up doesnt give you shit.
Well, I use to feel the same way you do, now, I know how the real world works. Personally, I don't goto those things, I have no desire to be a corporate cock suck, but one thing I do know, in big business, to get ahead you have to be noticed. Those events ARE a place to get noticed.
