And with the office holiday parties in full swing, make sure you take care of yourself. Do: Schmooze. Don’t: Drink too much. Do: Act professionally at all times. Don’t: Flirt. Keep your hands to yourself. Do: Thank the company for the wonderful evening. Don’t: Wear suggestive clothing. Do: Have a good time. It’s an annual reward for hard work. Play safe and have fun.
