TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 21, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Is body language important when conducting business? Who picks up the check at a business luncheon? Is it okay to have a relationship with a coworker? What kind of messages does one's style of dress suggest? Author Marilyn Pincus addresses these questions and more in her newly released book, Everyday Business Etiquette (now available through 1stBooks).
Pincus' work is a perfect guide for experienced professionals facing new career challenges, college graduates looking for that first "real" job or those returning to work after a hiatus.
Most people would agree that bad manners can be irritating. However, many may not realize that having good manners boosts confidence, which is essential for success, Pincus writes. From how to conduct important slide presentations to what kind of wine to choose for business dinners to the best jewelry to wear in the office, Everyday Business Etiquette covers it all and provides enough information to turn a reader into a "minor expert" in etiquette.
Everyday Business Etiquette is loaded with straightforward strategies, sample business letters, tips to use during interviews and meetings and self scoring quizzes. With helpful hints, suggestions and examples, the book shows readers what to do and not do, what to say and not say, and what is expected of them in business settings.
According to Dorothea Johnson, director of The Protocol School of Washington, "(It is) a user friendly reference book to help you get to where you want to go faster than a speeding BMW."
Pincus is an accomplished speaker, ghostwriter and author. She has written many books including Projecting a Positive Image, Interview Strategies That Lead to Job Offers and Your Bright Future in Business Administration. Two of her books have been published in a total of eight languages and are read by people in other countries. She has written for the major publishers of business information and worked in a variety of fields, such as sales, communications and human resources.
