小贴士
第一天公司上班，是不是有点手足无措？其实，初次见面好比跳华尔兹，非常简单，就是3步曲：问候——介绍——对方回答。先用good morning / afternoon打招呼，同时握手以显示你的诚意。当然不要忘记smile，因为微笑是消除隔阂、沟通心灵的好方法。作为新人，应该主动与同事交往，所以要先作self introduction，除了may i introduce myself, please? my name#039s karl smith.你还可以说let me introduce myself.my name#039s karl或者i#039m karl smith. you can call me karl.做完了自我介绍，如果希望把自己介绍给经理，可以说i don#039t know anyone here. could you introduce me to the manager? 每当对方报上姓名时，你要记得说nice to meet you. glad to meet you.或pleased to meet you.为了加深对方的印象，你可以加上对对方的赞扬：i#039ve heard a lot about you.，或者i#039m looking forward to working for you.接下来就和新同事一一问候打招呼吧。
第一印象很重要
