    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

    莎拉：那她一定很迷人。我真不希望她是一个花瓶或者是个马屁精。

    katherine: maybe neither. though she is a green hand here, she is enthusiastic and diligent. i can often see smiles on her face.

    凯瑟琳：可能不是。尽管她是个新手，但她工作很有热情，很勤快。我经常看到她脸上挂着笑容。

    sarah: first impressions count. look at the war without smoke of gunpowder in other companies. they are scheming against each other. oh, my god. i don't really bring it up.

    莎拉：第一印象很重要。看看其他公司的没有硝烟的战场，彼此勾心斗角的。哦，天啊，我真不想提。

    女性穿裙装可以为你的职场形象加分

    a research has revealed that opinions of others, based purely on the clothes you are wearing, are formed within seconds of first meeting. women who wear skirts and jackets are viewed as more confident, higher-paid and more dependable than those wearing a trouser suit.

    women dressed in a feminine way yet are still perceived as confident and successful. the skirt suit seems to balance professionalism with attractiveness.therefore, for women, if you want to make a right and strong first expression,dressing a skirt may do it.

    调查发现，基于人们所穿的衣服，人们在第一次见面时，几秒钟之内就会形成一个印象。相对于穿裤装来说，穿裙子和短上衣的女性看起来更加自信，收入更高也更加可靠。

    女人穿着女性化的服装，这也表达了一种自信和成功。裙装似乎是职业化和女性魅力之间的一种平衡。因此，对女性而言，如果你想给别人留下好的并且深刻的第一印象，穿裙装也许能达到这种效果。
