Tips for Making Friends at the Office
Posted by SpecialBuzzr on July 19, 2009
Sometimes it’s tough for adults to make new friends. A lot of us don’t even know where to start looking for friends. The best place for most people to look is at the office.
Here are some tips for making friends at the office:
- Be friendly. A lot of people go to work grumpy. They don’t look approachable. Be friendly and approachable at work if you want to make friends there.
- Invite people to coffee. This is better than inviting co-workers out to lunch because some people don’t like to spend a lot of money going out to lunch. Others feel intimidated about trying to find things to talk about for an hour. A coffee break together offers a short chance to get to know each other in an affordable setting.
- Notice what people are interested in. When you see the secretary looking at Claddagh wedding rings online, make it a point to ask her if she has a Celtic background or if she’s getting married soon. Showing an interest in people makes them want to be your friend.
- Be yourself. It’s what we tell our kids when we want them to make new friends. It’s advice we should also take ourselves!
