The Initial Contact

Regardless of whom you contact initially among the company personnel with the exception of the receptionist, your greeting should include a firm handshake and an enthusiastic "hello" followed by an introduction of  yourself. If your first contact is a supervisor in the department offering the job, he or she may talk with you first, introduce you to other staff members and speak with you again before you leave. Your initial contact may be with a personnel employee within the company. He or she will instruct you on how to proceed with your contacts and provide a preview of your agenda while at the company. Remember to"play by the company rules" without question.
