As a lawyer, I feel obliged to write a disclaimer[1]. I believe in every single strategy I have set out here. Nevertheless, I ask you to use common sense[2] to assess whether the strategy you are choosing to apply is the right one for the situation you are in. I will not be held responsible if you do not get the job, the raise or the promotion you were hoping for
[1] Disclaimer: Euphemism for a paragraph in document which provides that lawyers (although they will want to be paid for their advice) in any case, do not feel responsible if their advice is bad, inadequate or plain wrong. [2] Once you pay attention to it, you might notice that actually, as Franois-Marie Arouet Voltaire (1694 1778) pointedly said: "Common sense is not so common".
