Some of these are just bad habits of speech while others speak to poor attitude.Response by Capt Seid Waddell made Jun 16 at 2015 4:18 PM2015-06-16T16:18:16-04:002015-06-16T16:18:16-04:00MAJ Raúl Rovira751413<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>COL Mikel Burroughs,<br /><br /> Sir, that is a very good article and thank you for posting. They are all good points to remember before going into an interview. This one goes into my #Evernote<br /><br /> If service members and veterans have the time, they should consider reading Emotional Intelligence 2.0 which is promoted on the article. I read it as part of a college class and has made a difference for me at work and ads value when I am interviewing for jobs.Response by MAJ Raúl Rovira made Jun 16 at 2015 4:19 PM2015-06-16T16:19:17-04:002015-06-16T16:19:17-04:001SG Private RallyPoint Member751419<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I'd throw in don't write checks you can't cash.Response by 1SG Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 16 at 2015 4:22 PM2015-06-16T16:22:44-04:002015-06-16T16:22:44-04:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member751467<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I would say this article applies to the military too. I have heard some of those comments before. I am guilty for (it will only take a minute)Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 16 at 2015 4:45 PM2015-06-16T16:45:00-04:002015-06-16T16:45:00-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member751530<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You know, I hate that I have said 8, 10 and 11...<br /><br />I think even the smartest people say they hate their jobs some days, not all of them. Only the bad ones. Lol. I enjoyed this post Sir, thanks.Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Jun 16 at 2015 5:33 PM2015-06-16T17:33:22-04:002015-06-16T17:33:22-04:00SGM Steve Wettstein751624<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I always hated it when Soldiers said "To Easy". This usually followed with what I asked to get done not getting done.Response by SGM Steve Wettstein made Jun 16 at 2015 6:26 PM2015-06-16T18:26:32-04:002015-06-16T18:26:32-04:00PO1 John Miller752194<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I think a lot of us have been guilty of:<br /><br />2. "This is the way it's always been done." I don't know how many times I've brought up something at work during an all-hands meeting or something like that, and was told this very thing. When I brought up the obvious, "well, that may be but it's not a good way of doing business..." I would get the deer in headlights look or be told that "I hadn't been at the command long enough to judge." I would then get in trouble for saying "Why did you ask for my opinion in the first place then?" Luckily on at least one occasion I can recall my suggestion was forwarded up the chain and I got supported by my Command Master Chief, and the problem was fixed.<br /><br />7. "He's lazy/incompetent/a jerk." We've all had that co-worker, so I disagree with that. If a person truly is a problem, bring it to their chain. There is often that something that can be done about a person.Response by PO1 John Miller made Jun 17 at 2015 2:50 AM2015-06-17T02:50:53-04:002015-06-17T02:50:53-04:002015-06-16T16:05:40-04:00
