ssume that you've finally got a job you like and started a career in business. The first thing you have to realize, however, is that the world of business is not like your classroom or your university, and is far more complex than the one described in the textbook. To make the transition fast yet smooth, you have to work hard. The key to a successful transition lies in your attitude toward work and your relations with people around you. You should treat the new job as a challenge and devote yourlf to it. It is also esntial to relate to your supervi
sor, understand exactly what is expected of you, and work hard to meet the expectation. Moreover, you must go out of your way to become familiar with good office etiquette and develop rapport with your colleagues so that they are more likely to "show you the ropes1豆腐煲的做法".
Everyday Etiquette for Office Life
Most boss expect their employees to get along with one another and, more important, to get along with clients and customers. This means that however important your job skills are, they may not count for much if you don't also have some people skills. Fortunately, getting along with people usually boils down to simple, everyday courtesy.
When you work for a company, you are its reprentative to the outside world. For this reason, everyone from a cretary to a CEO should know how to greet visitors and make them feel comfortable.
Both men and women should stand to greet visitors who come into their office. Coworker三国杀张飞
s also should be given a warm greeting, but you need not ri each time one comes into your office. For a visitor, though, your hand should be extended just as it would be if you were the host in your own home. Ask the person to sit down; and if there is a choice of ats, you may want to wave him into one.
Many managers and executives sit behind their desks when talking to co-workers and customers, but it is more gracious to move a conversation out to a sofa or two occasional chairs. Visitors should be asked whether they would like a beverage. If the answer is yes, the manager should get the drink or ask a cretary or assistant to get it.
Although corporate cultures vary from business to business and even from region to region, the exchange of daily greetings is a ritual2 everywhere. Co-workers usually say hello first thing in the morning and then simply smile when they pass each other the rest of the day. No further verbal greeting is called for, and no one should take offen when a colleague doesn't stop to chat. It is considered rude, though, not to acknowledge fellow workers when you e them, even if it is for the fifteenth time in one day. You can nod or smile, but don't look the other way when you e someone.
Beyond routine greetings, how much people chitchat水龙头的简笔画 during the day generally depends on the atmosphere of the work environment. A formal, rigidly organized workplace may allow little room for casual conversation, while one that is informal and looly organized leaves room for this kind of socializing. Sometimes talk is encouraged or discouraged by the nature of the work. An asmbly line that involves heavy equipment or noi, for example, doesn't promote collegial3 chitchat4, while an underworked sales staff may spend most of its work day talking.

In many workplaces, the chitchat ─ especially that of extracurricular nature ─ is frowned on by management, and with good reason, since workers do have jobs to perform. Then the problem for an employee who wants to appear friendly is how to dingage from the friendly chatter without alienating co-workers.

When you must cut short a conversation to get to work, it helps to announce your reason in a friendly manner. For example, you might say,“ I'd love to talk more, but I've got to finish the year-end budget report,” or, “ Can't talk right now. I have to finish the estimates.”
If you dingage graciously, there should be no problem except for tho relatively few workers who don't get the message. In the cas a little less friendliness is called for. Don't smile broadly; don't stop to initiate a conversation. When a talker walks by, quickly say,“ Hi” , but don't look up from your work expectantly. With time, they should get the message.
Top Ten “Unquestionably Rude” Office Behaviors
