This program is an interactive video romp through the do’s and don’ts of etiquette. Importantly, this is not about whether to hold your pinkie out when sipping high tea, but rather a look at business issues – how to act, dress, and excel in your cubicle, at a meeting, and on a business meal. Working in the real world for the first time is one of the most difficult transitions in life, and it is not the hard skills that make it tough but rather the soft ones. Participants will see a hilarious video chock-full of real life business etiquette blunders – all from new hires straight out of college. Students are asked to identify the mistakes the “hero” makes and learn first-hand, from a former Human Resource VP, the tricks of the trade to succeed in the business world. There are always laughs galore and lots of learning in What They Don’t Teach You in College. |
