Dear Candidate, Wishing you a Happy Diwali in advance, on this occasion we would like to share some knowledge insights just to add more value to your profile. Want to make sure you start things off on the right foot? We curated some great pieces of advice for not only surviving your first day at a new job, but thriving. 

1. WORK ETIQUETTE TO
FOLLOW WHEN YOU GET
YOUR FIRST JOB

2. 1.WORK ETIQUETTE MEANS TO US SPECIALLY WHEN
YOU ARE FRESHER & ITS YOUR FIRST JOB?
• Work etiquette is a code that governs the expectations of social
behavior in a workplace. This code is put in place to “respect
and protect time, people, and processes.” Its part of office
etiquette is working well with others and communicating
effectively.

3. • The work Etiquette is derived from French which actually means
“Ticket”, your ticket to getting anything & any place you want.
• It is defined as a good behavior which distinguishes human beings
from Animals.

4. 2. MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION.
• You only have one chance to make a first impression, so make it a
good one. The way people perceive you when they first meet you will
last quite a while. Remember that changing a negative opinion is
much more difficult than maintaining a good one.

5. 3. DON’T BE LATE.
• Always show up for work on time. If you see a pattern in getting to the
office five minutes late, set you clock for five or ten minutes earlier.

6. 4. RESPECT OTHER COWORKERS.
• Whether you work in a private office, have a desk, a cubicles or siting
in an open office with dozens of coworkers, you should respect
everyone else.
• Allow each person to complete a thought and interject only when you
have something constructive to say. Your coworkers and supervisors
will appreciate you more and consider you a team player. This will
make you a more valuable candidate for future promotions.

7. 5. DO NOT MAKE OFFICE GOSSIP.
• Don’t get involved in office gossip about other employees or the
company. Even when you hang out with coworkers on personal time,
think of something else o discuss. You never know what will come
back to you, and the last thing you need to deal with is someone
thinking of you as the office gossip.

8. 6. SITTING IN OPEN OFFICE.
• Don’t do not use strong smell perfume.
• Keep your mobile phone on silent or on vibration mode.
• Do not play any music on you phone.
• Other main thing include humming, foot tapping, long personal phone
conversation and filing your fingernails.

9. 7. BE FRIENDLY TO NEW EMPLOYEES.
• Remember what it felt like to be the newest person at the office. Smile
at the new person, strike up a very brief conversation and ask him or
her to join your group for lunch. Offer to answer any questions and
comment about how you remember what it’s like to be new.

10. 8. DON’T TAKE CREDIT FOR OTHER PEOPLES IDEAS
OR ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
• One of the things that can ruin your reputation in an office
environment is to claim someone else’s ideas as your own. If a
supervisor mistakenly thinks it is your idea, set the record
straight, no matter how tempting it may be to let her continue
thinking you are brilliant give credit to the correct person.
• By the same token, never blame anyone else for your mistakes.
This only makes matters worse and will create animosity. You
are better off admitting what happened and find a way to fix it.
Everyone makes mistakes, but try not to make the same one
more than once.

11. 9. DRESS APPROPRIATELY.
• Every office has a dress code. Don’t break it. If you do wear
inappropriate attire. Some companies have one dress code when
you’re working in the office and another when you’re meeting with
clients.

12. 10. ‘PLEASE’ AND ‘THANK YOU’ ARE STILL MAGIC
WORDS.
• When we were children, “Please” and “thank you” were referred to as“
Magic words” that were to be used when we were asking for
something and then, it turn, receiving something.
Please and thank you still have a prominent place in the business
world and you should use them at every opportunity.

13. 11. BE A TEAM PLAYER.
• In many workplaces and career fields, there is an expectation you will
work with other people on projects during the course of your
employment. Its sometimes tough to get along with varying
personalities and that’s precisely why clear communication is so
important. Part of office etiquette is working well with others and
communicating effectively. Take time to listen to other peoples points
of view.
Be friendly and encouraging to co-workers.

14. 12. OFFICE POLITICS
• Unless you work alone and never interact with anyone during
your workday, you will have to deal with office politics. It doesn’t
have to be negative. Keep in mind that everyone in your office is
working toward a common goal: the success of your company.
• Ways to make office politics work for you:
• Offer to serve on committees, even when you can’t be in charge.
This shows your willingness and ability to be a team player.
• Never be late for a meeting.

15. Thank You
