Career Advice from Ugly Betty

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." --Eleanor Roosevelt

Betty Suarez's words to live by adorn her online resume. If they can land Betty a dream job at a premiere fashion magazine in NYC, then you better heed them. But the former first lady's words aren't the only ones to live by. Betty offers some of her own nuggets of career advice, too, such as making friends with co-workers, dressing for success and dealing with a difficult boss.

Another workplace pitfall is falling into a social rut by lunching with the people you work with all day long. Instead, look at lunch as a great time to interact with people from other departments in your company.

A little fluffy, but so is the content of Mode, the magazine she works for. [BettySuarez.com]
