I would probably say for me that it would be:

“Always treat with respect those you meet on the way up the ladder, as you never know, you may meet them on the way down!” (my Dad’s pearls of wisdom)

For example, I have always been very polite to recruitment consultants when they have canvass-called me – whereas colleagues simply ignore their calls or are downright rude to them.  The way I look at it, I may need their help myself one day!

What has been the best career advice you have ever received?
