If you want to create a good impression of yourself in the circle of new acquaintances, then you should remember a few simple rules of etiquette, which many often forget.
Using the elevator
The elevator is still considered a fairly dangerous object, so it is customary for a man to enter it first, followed by women, children or elderly people.
In addition, you need to take into account that you exit the elevator in reverse order.
If you are accompanying an important person, you should also enter the elevator first, and only then the guest himself.
When you and your colleagues have to go up one floor, it doesn't matter who enters or exits first. Here you need to remember about convenience. For example, the person who is closer to the door can enter first.
Handshake rules
If you are meeting with male business partners, it is customary to shake their hands. If you are meeting with a woman, you should not deviate from this rule. Kissing hands in this case is inappropriate.
In addition, do not immediately raise your hand when greeting. At an official meeting, the one who is higher in status should do it first.
Conversations on the phone
If you are at an event, a museum or even a church, it is customary to turn off your phone or put it on silent mode. Talking in such places will only disturb others.
When you are at a meeting, you should not be constantly distracted by messages and calls.
Besides, the gadget should not be placed on the table. The best place is a bag or pocket.
Earlier we talked about how to refuse your boss without saying “no”.
