First day at work at a new job. 上班第一天

上班第一天，主管会将你介绍给新同事，带你了解熟悉新工作环境。

第一天到公司上班，给上级和同事留下一个良好印象是一件非常重要的事情。得体的介绍和问候会给对方留下美好印象，还要记得初次见面时必不可少的一句话，就是"Nice to meet you.（见到您很高兴。）"每当对方报上姓名时，你一定要记得说这句话。当然用"Glad to meet you." 或"Pleased to meet you."也可以。

在正式场合中,要"握手"来显示你的诚意。当然不要忘了微笑一下，因为微笑是消除隔阂、沟通心灵的最好方法。记得握手时看着对方的眼睛（eye contact ）..作为中国人这是一个非常需要的加强的.眼睛要看着对方，让人感到你在关注他。

下面是几个第一天上班的对话:

Sorry. What was that?

一般说来，老外是很难正确读出中国人的姓名的。所以很多在外企工作的人，都用一个外文的名字，例如 James li, Andrew Sun. 由于发音的问题，经常老外会听错你的名字，及时纠正是很必要的。

Hello . My name is Tom.

Hi! Sorry. I didn’t catch your name. Could you spell that.

Sure. T-o-m. T as in tomato ;O as in open; M as in mountain.

Oh. Hi ,Tom.

为了能够拼出某个单词或名字，用一些常见的单词来帮助别人听懂, 可以说the letter + as in + a well –known word。例如T-o-m. T as in tomato ;O as in open; M as in mountain.
