New to the corporate world & on my third week of work this colleague of mine (male) asks me to join him to see his office space. It was only us in the office, talking about work then out of nowhere he asks me if i have any tattoos … and I’m someone who’s dresses up modestly. Is this a normal question to ask someone? Or is he flirting with me?

Document that just in case. Don’t get too personal(with anyone) and make sure there is another person in the room when you’re with him. Him randomly asking you that out of nowhere after 3 weeks of you being there seems like he knows it’s not an appropriate question to ask. That’s most likely why he wanted to get you alone with him to ask you an unusual question and used his office space as an excuse to do so. Whether or not he’s genuinely curious, stay pleasant yet tread carefully around him and others he interacts with at work. It could take some time to really know a coworker’s motive in the corporate world especially when you have male coworkers as a woman. Being the first in my family to work in corporate, no one has taught me about the realities of the corporate world, especially as young a woman and as a minority. I had to learn the very hard way.

So about Growth Marketing…
“Growth” has been a permutator for many marketers looking to spice up their resume and whatnot, and in most cases they are either generalists or dedicated to a very specific area of marketing.
