For a business phone call, don’t allow it to ring more than three times before you answer it. Put on a smile before placing or answering a phone call. Use a voice that is neither too loud nor too low. When the caller is speaking, listen to what he or she has to say without interruptions.

Workplace dress codes
New employees should know how to dress properly at work.
Men should purchase formal suits before getting to work. It is advisable to choose dark colours. Certainly, to match the suit, shirts in light colours, neckties and dark leather shoes are necessary. It should be noted that the colour of shirts and suits should not be similar or even the same.
It seems that women have more choices when choosing their suits, because there are many kinds of suits sold online or in the shop. The rules for choosing women’s suits are the same as those for men. Besides trousers, women can wear skirts to match their suits.
If necessary, women can wear some accessories to look more professional, but for men, being clean and neat is the top rule.
职场着装要求
新职员应该了解工作场合的正确着装要求。
男士应该在工作前购买正式的西装。建议选择深色系。当然,要搭配西装,浅色衬衣、领带和深色皮鞋也是必要的。要特别注意的是,衬衣的颜色和套装不能相似或相同。
而女士选择喜爱的套装时,选择的余地会更大,因为无论在网上还是商店都有很多的样式。女士选择的规则和男士相同。除了裤子,女士可以穿裙子来搭配他们的套装。
如果必要,女士可以佩戴一些装饰品,让它们看起来更专业。但是对于男士,整洁是首要原则。
