[quote=Anonymous]I work on the Hill, and there were three pieces of advice I received early that I think are applicable to any job, anywhere. 1. Tell the truth. Once you get a reputation as being dishonest or untrustworthy, it never goes away. 2. If you screw up, admit it - quickly - and own it. That way it can be fixed. If you screw up and try to cover up a problem, it just gets bigger. 3. Half the job is high profile and exciting - interesting subjects, stuff you see on the news, and things that lots of people care about. The other half is not very exciting. Arcane issues, not a lot of people paying attention, not much fireworks. But this low-profile stuff is important too. Work just as hard on this stuff - sweat the details, do the extra work. It will pay off in the long run. [/quote]
