Guide on Business Etiquette
Recently, I came across this article regarding business etiquette to make sure that I was not making any silly mistakes at holiday parties.
From this article, I have several questions that I have regarding business etiquette.
- Thank-you notes Who exactly should I send thank-you notes to? Is there a preference for email or hand-written notes as well? If so, when and where should I use one or the other?
- Introducting one's self The article says that the higher ranking person or host initiates the handshake. Is this true because it seems to me that this is not followed most of the time?
- Exiting I have difficulty doing this and am terrible at ending conversations. According to the article, it says to " have "exit lines" prepared in case you need to leave a conversation." What are some of the exit lines that you guys use or strategies to end a conversation?
