The need for office etiquette
With many people working from home in the past few years, it’s likely their office etiquette has suffered. And the Gen Z employees who entered the workforce from their homes haven’t even learned office etiquette yet. In fact, many companies who are calling their employees back to the office, are starting to offer office etiquette training.
Having this information in your back pocket during your current job search can help you stand out above other candidates and win the job offer!
I’ve always been a big believer in proper job search etiquette. This is why I have a whole section of my blog dedicated to the topic.
At one of the previous universities where I worked, we had an annual etiquette dinner for our seniors. We brought in a professional business etiquette speaker to walk them through the dinner. I learned something new from the speaker every year she came. It was also fun for me to choose the menu to challenge the students on what to do if they were ever served something they didn’t like in a lunch or dinner interview.
If you can show throughout your job search you possess good office etiquette, in addition to the required skill set, you can increase your chances of landing an offer. Here are some past blog posts to help you brush up on your career etiquette. Enjoy!
