Office Parties: Be a Gracious Guest

An excellent way to show your appreciation for being invited to a party is to arrive on time. Speak with your boss (or bosses), socialize with co-workers and try to mingle and meet some of the guests that you don´t know. When being introduced to someone, make sure you look the person in the eye, and greet them with a firm handshake. (Keep your right hand clean and free to shake hands. It helps to balance your food, drink, and napkin in your left hand to prevent having to switch items from hand to hand.)
