Congratulations are in order for Griselle Rivera (OA member: Grivera527) of Massachusetts. Griselle will receive the following fabulous prizes:

• A $25 Amazon Gift Card
• A free copy of the book, Business Class: Etiquette Essentials for Success at Work by Jacqueline Whitmore

She shares:

"Well, I went on this job interview. The interviewer kept calling me "Doreen" (not my name, not even close). When we sat down to talk, she had "Doreen's" resume in front of her, so her questions didn't make sense. She eventually realized this and retrieved a copy of my resume. So, I figured that's over, and we'll go on with the interview. However, the interview is then over. She shakes my hand and says, ‘Goodbye, Doreen!' Well, maybe Doreen will be the lucky one to get the job! At least the boss won't have trouble remembering her!"

Thanks again to those who participated and shared their stories. Don't forget to check back tomorrow when we announce our next fun and easy contest! In the meantime, brush up on your Business Etiquette IQ with this simple quiz.
