How It Helps Your Business English
The page splits between the interview and the job itself. The interview part covers first impressions and scent, what to wear, honesty about work history, table manners at a lunch, phones, which chair to take, answering questions and the thank-you note. The job part covers voicemail, email names, eye contact, introductions, appointments, sensitive topics, greetings, co-workers and bosses.
You can run through the interview points the evening before one and know what is expected of your dress, your phone and your answers. The passage on titles shows you how a surname is used with Ms. or Mr., and the parts on sensitive topics and greetings tell you where an Ontario office draws its lines. When a colleague treats you badly, the page sets out the steps open to you.
