What is your office party personality?

The Perfect Guest
You know how to have a good time and recognise that office parties are great opportunities to get to know colleagues better in a relaxed environment. You may have a drink or two, but you know better than to set up camp at the free bar. And if you're tempted to indulge in a little flirting, you'll do it discreetly, so that it's not the talk of the office the next day. In short, you enjoy office parties without ever forgetting that they are work events.


You can get even more out of these events by thinking strategically. If you and a colleague have a chilly relationship, use this opportunity to warm it up by asking her about herself and her opinions on things not related to work, like a recent movie or favorite book. Get a sense of your boss's perspective by asking his opinion of the company or your department and the plans for the coming year. And if there are upcoming projects you're interested in, now's the time to mention your interest and let your enthusiasm shine through. By using this time to create new allies, you shore up your reputation at work, show your dedication and create future possibilities.
