How to present yourself to colleagues

 Of course, when you come to work, you will present the team leader or a member of staff, who are already familiar with you to the interview and read your profile. As a rule, any information about you, other than the major milestones of your career, they do not report. So you need to take the initiative and tell us about yourself to colleagues, without waiting for their issues.

Sounding, let them know how to contact you. Tell us when and where you were born, what school finished. Little describe your work experience and your major accomplishments. Do not hesitate, you can mention the available scientific works, publications, inventions. But make sure that it did not sound like bragging, or as a challenge.

As a rule, colleagues are always interested in marital status, presence of children. Tell us briefly about that. But control yourself to the story of the children and a happy marriage is not delayed. Here it suffices to say how old you are married or single, and what age you have children.

Try to keep your story in a humorous, likable form. With humor dilute the positive information about yourself that you just listed, the mention of their shortcomings, even imaginary. Make it clear to colleagues that humor and self-irony is not alien to you, and you do not narcissistic blowhard.

Tell us about your habits of those with whom they will encounter when working with you side by side: that you just can not quit smoking, for example, or that you prefer black or green tea and coffee. You can mention your hobbies and ask colleagues in time to stop you when you annoy them with stories about them.

Apologize in advance if you do not remember how someone call and ask them to assist you in quick adaptation to the new company and a new team. This will remove your speech many questions and arrange for you to your new colleagues. A cake brought to the nearest tea party or the first salary, finally strengthen your position.
