Introducing Yourself

Make sure to look people in the eyes and smile in order to seem confident and approachable.

If you are seated while being introduced to someone, stand to greet that person and shake his or her hand. Have a firm handshake, but avoid death grips.

If you are given a name tag, put it high on your right shoulder; that way, while you shake hands, people can follow the line of your arm straight up to your name--without having to scan your chest.
