Holiday season means awkward client gifts, forced office parties, and pretending you’re thrilled about another festive networking event. I’ve been asked to chip in for a client gift I’ve never even met and attend a holiday party after a 60-hour week. Am I a grinch? What’s your line when it comes to all this and showing up during the holidays?

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement. On my CV I have a section listed as “Education” and under it I have “Business Studies” with the university name and the 3 years that I attended the course (2.5 to be exact). It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.
