Kotecki's Career Question Quest
Submit your career questions, and I, James Kotecki, may answer them.
This is my one true glorious quest.
To add to the magic, please make up some kind of cool advice column pseudonym for yourself. Never mind that your name is plainly visible in this group. Just go with it.

Hey Kotecki, what's the deal with short-term contract positions? Let's say I'm on a three month contract and get offered a full-time position elsewhere right in the middle of it! How do I decide between full-time job stability and honoring the commitment I made to the hiring company? Sincerely, Not Burning A Bridge Over Troubled Water

Ok Kotecki I have one, can dressing one step above associates put you in mind for that promotion or raise...or are you just over dressed?

What do you do when egos get in the way of professionalism? For example, when a superior blatantly talks down to you, or a team member(s) below you blatantly does/do not respect your authority (presumably, out of insecurity)?

Career Question Questers, take heart! Your questions have been read and digested. They were delicious.
However, I must express some disappointment that nobody came up with goofy advice-column-ish names for themselves. You shall now be forced to enjoy the name I give you.
Alas, the window of questioning will soon close. Tell your friends, colleagues, and mortal enemies to submit your questions before it is too late!

How do you get more challenge at work, James?

Kotecki, can you talk about "acting as if". How do I act as if I am Jack Donaghy? Help me out, man.

I heard Corbin Haresnape is the "Jack Donaghy of Gen Y Business" you should ask him.

What do you think about gifting? e.g., bringing in donuts for the office? Is it appropriate? Where's the fine line between considerate and suck-upy?
James Kotecki
This thing on? If you are reading this, then yes.
