Stop making "nice girl" errors that can become career pitfalls, such as:

<strong>Mistake #13: Avoiding Office Politics.</strong> If you don't play the game, you can't possibly win

<strong>Mistake #21: Multitasking. </strong>Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should do it.

<strong>Mistake #54: Reluctance to Negotiate. </strong>Don't equate negotiation with confrontation.

<strong>Mistake #70: Inappropriate Use of Social Media. </strong>Once it's out there, it's hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube.

<strong>Mistake #82: Asking Permission. </strong>Children, not adults, ask for approval. Be direct be confident
