length trousers of a non-jeans material combined with a top (such
as a dress shirt, polo, or sweater set) is considered acceptable. An
informal dress with appropriate skirt length is also acceptable.
• for men: A combination of collared shirt (such as a dress
shirt or polo shirt), cotton trousers (such as khakis or dress jeans)
with a belt, and dress shoes (such as loafers) with socks is generally
acceptable. A blazer or business jacket can optionally be added.
• Unacceptable for either gender: gym clothes, rumpled or
ripped clothing, miniskirts, underwear as outerwear,
inappropriately revealing attire such as bare midriffs, and flip-
flops. Many corporations also frown upon open-toed shoes and
shorts.

efficiently over the phone can be boiled down to…….
telephone etiquettes.

Spends more than 3 hours on
phone…….

through the basics of telephone
etiquettes………
19. Placing a telephone call…
• If you’re making a call,
identify yourself first, then
ask to speak to the person
you’re trying to reach.
On finally reaching the person…
Before jumping into a
deep conversation,
ask if they have time
to talk. 19
20. If you’re on the phone and
another call comes in…
Always ask if it’s alright to put
them on hold
Always give a brief explanation
of the reason of hold.
Sign Language?
Do not interrupt someone on
the telephone by
gesturing,
speaking or
writing them notes! 20
21. What about voicemail?
If you must leave a
message, state your name
(spell if they don’t know
you), phone number, date
and reason for the call.
Repeat your phone
number at the end—
SLOWLY.
When you are in ANY meeting
turn off your cell phone ringer—
accept voicemail and text messaging
only! 21
22. Can you hear me now?
If you have to take a call in a
public place—try to move to a
more private space.
Hearing one-sided
conversations alienates the
person NOT in the
conversation!
If you have to talk in a public
place (bus, elevator, airplane etc.)
keep it short and discreet.

29. Table Etiquette
A general knowledge and use of
basic etiquette makes the dining
experience more pleasant for
everyone.
Table manners play an important part in
making a good impression.
Here are some basic tips to help you…
30. Sitting down
At a very formal dinner name cards will show you where
you should sit.
If there are no name cards on the tables, the host will
take you to the correct place.
If you are at a romantic dinner, the man
should push the woman’s chair in for her.
Sometimes the waiter will do this.
31. Using the napkin
Place the napkin on your lap. If it is small, unfold it
completely otherwise fold it in half, lengthwise.
Once the meal is over, you too should place your
napkin loosely on the table to the right of your dinner
plate.
It should not be crumpled or twisted, which reveal
untidiness or nervousness.
Nor should it be folded, which might show that you
think your host might reuse it without washing.
32. Ordering
• If there is something you don’t understand on the menu, ask
your server any questions you may have. Answering your
questions is part of the server’s job.
• An employer will generally let you order first; his or her
order will be taken last. Sometimes, however, the server will
decide who orders first. Often, women’s orders are taken
before men’s.
• As a guest you should not order one of the
most expensive items on the menu or more
than two courses unless your host shows
that it is all right.
33. Using the knives, forks and spoons
When you hold the knife or fork, you should relax your
fingers.
Never let the knife, fork or spoon touch the table after
you started eating.
When you take a break from eating, you simply put your
knife and fork on the plate.
When you have finished eating, you should put your knife
and fork together pointing to the left.
34. Eating Meal
Dip the spoon in the soup away from your body. Sip the
liquid from the side of the spoon. Don’t put the whole
spoon in your mouth.
Take some butter and put it on the plate then put some
butter on the small piece. Don’t spread the butter over
the whole piece of bread.
