Matthew: Sure. I've picked up a few things from travelling around for work. Why? I; Well, Thad a meeting today with a woman from Japan and she wouldn't stop bowing! I didn’t know what to do! M; Did you bow back? I; No, [tried to shake her hand, but her hand was so limp I was a bit offended. M; Well, Japanese businessmen and women typically bow to greet each other in Japan. She might have been offended by your strong handshake. I; But she was in America! Shouldn't she have known that strong handshakes in America signify confidence and respect? M; Things are different in Japan. You know, in some countries, making eye contact with others is considered rude I; Is that why she wouldn't look at me in the meeting? M; I think it’s highly possible, yes. I; The meeting really didn’t go down well at all. I think I need to read up about intercultural communication before [ have another meeting with someone from another country. M; That’s a good idea. When you don't know much about other cultures, the simplest thing can offend someone. I; That's so true. It’s great that we see eye to eye on this. PBA: AS, OT RU 2 BE: 4K. RI PARS HONS, TBR THN.

Do you think we should hire her? pee 2 She had a very impressive resume, but she seemed to lack the confidence that I think a good manager needs + What made you think that she wasn’t very confident? Did you notice the way that she avoided making eye contact with us while she talked? : She was a bit nervous, 1 guess. What else? When she first walked into the room to greet us, she didn’t shake our hands or introduce herself at all. [ thought that was a bit unprofessional. + You're right. Ifshe walked into meetings with our clients like that, it would make our company look bad, wouldn't it? It sure would. Did you also notice the way she slouched in her chair during most of the interview? She had horrible posture! : Tagree. { guess 1 was paying more attention to her answers than her body language. On top of all of that, she didn’t seem to have any sense about people’s personal space. She didn't keep enough distance between us during the meeting. : That's true. I guess we'll have to keep looking for a manager then. Don't worry, we'll find someone eventually! “= ies 2 ORES A MRE BE? + RMT ERA AIL. CAA NS? 2 ORDA A ASML IM, tn Rh hn 5 Ae PA Sa PERE ARROPEAY.
