It’s the end of first quarter – are you on track to achieve your professional goals? If you need a boost, here are some profession tips we tweeted during March. References for these tips are at the end.

If your boss doesn’t give guidance and input on your performance, then do it yourself – document your accomplishments + goals.

Find a middle ground when dealing with difficult co-workers – let go of your need to control or push back.

When negotiating salary and benefits, make sure your tone is enthusiastic about the opportunity – avoid a tone of entitlement.

Name-dropping in business can backfire – it depends on the delivery AND the other person’s experience with your acquaintance.
