Making a Great Impression at a Holiday Party

Posted by !Jeffry Schneider

Show up• If you RSVP’d yes, then go!• You don’t have to stay for long,

but be sure to make an appearance!

• Saying you would and then not showing up creates a rift

Dress !well

• You don’t need to wear a tux, but make sure you look professional!

• Putting in an effort to dress up shows respect for the event, which won’t go unnoticed

Have a filter

• Avoid off-color or polarizing jokes!

• Make sure your language is clean!• Stay away from any political

discussions!• If any of these things do come

up, tread carefully

Engage• Put your phone

away when somebody’s talking to you, and keep your eyes focused on them

• Don’t push disregard anybody you consider unimportant, because they’ll notice

Follow !up

• Before leaving the party, make sure you say goodbye and thank you to the person who invited you!

• The day after, send a follow-up email or text saying thank you (the day after is best)
