Careers Quiz: Are You Sabotaging Your Career?

ARE YOU SABOTAGING YOUR CAREER?
A QUINTESSENTIAL CAREERS QUIZ
by Randall S. Hansen, Ph.D.

We all know someone like my father. A great man with good intentions -- maybe even a star contributor, someone who takes on extra work and even ventures to the office on the weekend to test out some new ideas -- someone who can definitely list many revenue-enhancing accomplishments on his resume.

Yet, even with all these positives, you know something is not quite right because it's the other folks in your office who get the promotions, big bonuses, or high-profile assignments while you sit by quietly (or not so quietly) steaming.

What gives? An easy target is your boss - maybe s/he is envious of your successes, or maybe s/he is just a bad boss.

Maybe it's your co-workers. Perhaps they are envious ofyou and stabbing you in the back -- or perhaps you have a bit too inflated view of yourself.

The solution?

Take a step backwards away from the situation.

Is it really your boss or co-workers -- or are you sabotaging your own career?
