Gaurav: Thanks. Raj as i'm about to enter into the corporate world. Can you gimme quick tips in workplace etiquettes i must keep in mind to leave a good impression in my office.

Raj: Remember your good behavior will minimize all your blunders. The way you talk to others goes a long way. It establishes your credibility

Weak handshakes, wardrobe failures, laziness and poor punctuality can break your image in the office. Poor punctuality wastes everyone's time in the office. Be punctual and complete all your assignment with diligence and vibrancy. Weak handshake shows no conviction and suggests a timid personality of an employee. Shake hands firmly with smile on your face.

Don't indulge in worst blunders like taboo topics, office gossip, interrupting your peers and superiors or shouting. Politics and religion aren't good topic of discussion.

You'll probably face the situation where you'll be the target of boss or client's anger. Things can get worse when you'll interrupt, shout and pass tactless remarks. Face such situation with calmness. Sit, wait, think and act correctly. Yelling across the office is distracting and embarrassing. It puts you in a bad light and shows that you're impatient.

Be a good listener. Listen to your manager and be helpful towards your coworkers. Cordiality and friendliness

Your attire, dressing sense matters a lot. Dress in formals that are ironed properly. Wear polished shoes and nicely cut and combed hair. Say no to tattoos, earrings, long hair or inappropriate clothing like T-shirts with rude slogans or brash logos, shorts and slippers.
