Our work lives are full of opportunities for socializing, whether it’s a business lunch, a team offsite, an out-of-town conference or an office party. But beware of looking at these social situations simply as a way to have fun, take a break and blow off steam. In truth, they’re either opportunities to advance your career or get into trouble.

In this class, you’ll learn how to:

 

• Define the roles of host and guest and understand the manners that apply to each.
• Participate at conferences and mix-and-mingle events.
• Behave when traveling for business and participating in offsites.
• Conduct yourself in interviews.
• Avoid common problems, mishaps, and awkward situations.
• Stick to the one-drink rule.
