How Abbi And Ilana From ‘Broad City’ Taught Us To Deal With Office Life

Every week on Broad City, Abbi and Ilana teach us how to live our lives to the fullest, whether that means pegging the guy you like on the first date or inspecting your pubic hair in a fitting room mirror. Not a single moment is wasted with our Broad City besties — even the moments spent at work. Sure, a day at the office can be a crushing, tedious experience — but with these tips from Abbi and Ilana, you’ll end your day a greater success than you started. Or you’ll dip your hair in toilet water at a gym. One of those two.

First of all, the interview is of the utmost importance. You have to get your job to crush your job. Be sure to highlight your strengths and discuss weaknesses that you see as opportunities.

Develop a rapport with your boss, perhaps based on what TV shows you have in common.

Try to keep your personal and work lives separate.

Being useful is of the utmost importance.

Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.

Within reason.

Try to manage your time effectively and not let emails back up on you.

Be the best at your job you can be. Give it your everything.

Always be respectful.

Never lose sight of your ultimate goal.

But also never forget to make a difference in the lives of others.

So go forth and be a great employee. And, if all else fails, steal some Post-its.
