Waiting Room Etiquette
◦ Treat everyone you meet with courtesy and respect : This starts with parking lot attendants, security
and front desk personnel. You never know who you may be talking to – and word spreads quickly,
especially when it concerns a potential new team member.
◦ Make eye contact : Otherwise, you may give the impression that you’re hiding something, lying or
lacking confidence.
◦ Wait to be told to take a seat – and where? Then say thank you. Once seated, don’t fidget or slouch.
Sitting up straight not only makes you appear more self-assured, but it also aids breathing and thus
eases your nerves.
◦ While awaiting your interview , DO NOT: Chew gum, smoke or ask for the location of the smoking
area. Talk on your phone, text in an obtrusive manner, eat, drink, or pace the floor
◦ Smile
WORKPLACE ETIQUETTE
◦ Respect professional boundaries: While it isn't completely forbidden to make friends at
your workplace, you should respect and maintain professional boundaries in the workplace
to avoid any confl icts.
◦ Don't mess up the workspace! Your offi ce is a shared space and you need to respect that
other people are going to use the premises too, therefore it is imperative that you keep it
clean!
◦ Use earphones! It is understandable if you use music to help you concentrate better at
work, but blasting music from your speakers or phones might interrupt your colleagues.
◦ Check in with your seniors: If you are unsure about something, always check with your
seniors as it is easier to ask for help rather than having to apologise later.
◦ Be enthusiastic: Being enthusiastic about learning new things and accepting new work will lead to
professional success when done consistently.
WORKPLACE ETIQUETTE
◦ Always stand when you're being introduced to someone: It shows you are humble and respectful
towards your colleagues.
◦ Mind your manners: Don’t be RUDE Say please when you make requests and thank someone if they
do something for you . DON’T SWEAR OR RAISE YOUR VOICE EVER.
◦ Being a part of office gossip is a BIG NO! Don’t gossip and avoid being the person who not only
believes rumours but spreads it around too.
◦ Dress Appropriately Use the Right Salutations
◦ Do Not Interrupt people (During Presentations/Meetings )
◦ Use the Right Salutations
◦ Be mindful of Time Zones
