• Dress appropriately, be cautious your posture, and walk with confidence.

 

• Make sure your mobile phone ring tone is not loud and offensive.

 

• Don’t take a call while you are in a meeting. If you are expecting an important call, tell the meeting at the beginning. Excuse yourself, make the call brief and then return to the meeting.

 

• Make sure your mobile phone is out of sight, so you are not tempted to play with it or be distracted during the meeting by it.

• Be sure to treat each person with whom you interact with respect. No matter what their role or position in the company.

 

• Cultivate a strong, clear speaking voice; enunciate your words; and don’t use foul language. Knowing how to communicate clearly and effectively is essential to your success.

 

• Master the art of networking. Being skillful at networking will not only help you get a job, but it will also help you stand out in your new job.

 

• Be punctual. Being punctual shows your commitment and dedication to the company and your job. Arriving late shows a lack of interest and respect of your coworkers.
