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's karl smith.你还可以说let me introduce myself.my name's karl或者i'm 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't 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've heard a lot about you.，或者i'm 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
