Congratulations!  After years of hard work and dedication, you’ve earned a college degree, one of the most respected achievements in today’s society.  It’s safe to say that you’re now armed with all of the skills and knowledge needed to be successful in your future career, right? 

Actually, while your education and work ethic are major components of your future success, your participation and performance in social hours can contribute the most to your budding career.  According to CareerBuilder.com, “Opportunities come from relationships. Everything's an old boys’ network, even if there are no boys and they're not old.  You will never know who is in a position to help you or your business” (Morsch).

The goal of this survival guide is to lend helpful pointers and step-by-step instructions for fitting comfortably into workplace social settings, and developing your career while you’re at it.
