Certified Career Coach, Hallie Crawford was asked for her professional advice in this article on the Toronto Sun – “Cry if you want to”. Many office situations create a perfect storm for breakdowns, but that doesn’t have to derail your career.
Career coach Hallie Crawford agrees that occasional tears will not jeopardize your job, but crying all the time is not going to help you get a job promotion.
“While it’s professional to try and stay cool and collected no matter what the situation, sometimes tears are inevitable,” says Crawford, of createyourcareerpath.com, who recommends excusing yourself to a quiet place to collect your thoughts.
