Basic Social Etiquette There are certain accepted behaviours in all social situations that you need to learn. With few exceptions, putting them into practice can make a big difference in your social life.
Professional Etiquette Rules You Need to Know Stand up when you’re being introduced to someone. This helps establish your presence. Always say your full name when introducing yourself. Always initiate the handshake if you’re the higher-ranking person or host. Dress appropriately. This goes without saying, but you should always find out what the dress code is at an event, meeting, or restaurant. Only say "thank you" once or twice during a conversation. If you over use the term, you’ll dilute its impact and make yourself seem needy or helpless.
Professional Etiquette Rules You Need to Know Send separate thank-you notes to everyone involved. When interviewing, it’s customary to send an email or handwritten thank-you note to all of the people you met with. Leave your phone in your pocket. Don’t take it out during meetings. It’s rude. Use professional headshots. For your business profile on LinkedIn or other websites, don’t post a photo of yourself at the beach. You won’t be taken seriously. Always double-check that you have selected the correct email recipient. You don’t want to send the email to the wrong person! If you forget someone’s name, admit it. It’s no big deal! Just say, “I’m so sorry, but I’ve forgotten your name. Can you remind me what it is?”
Professional Etiquette Rules You Need to Know Greet people at work. Say hello to the people you know as well as the people you don’t know. Keep your fingers together when you point. Never point with just an index finger—it’s too aggressive. Instead point with an open palm and keep your fingers together. Never pull out someone’s chair for them. In a business setting, you should leave behind social gender rules. It's okay to hold open the door for a guest, but a man does not have to pull out a woman’s chair. When at a business lunch or dinner, don’t order anything too expensive. Follow the lead of your host. Order the same amount as your guest/host. More affordable side.
Professional Etiquette Rules You Need to Know Never ask for a to-go box. “You are there for business, not for leftovers,” The host should always pay. If you were the inviter, you should pay the bill; gender does not matter. If you’re worried about a fight over the bill arising, excuse yourself from the table. You’re going to the bathroom—and then discretely take care of the bill. Stay sober. Don’t get blackout drunk at a work event. Prepare a polite exit from every meeting or conversation.
