Be truthful. The word respect often elicits the word
honesty. So, be tactful and honest with everyone you deal with -- that means
owning up to mistakes if you've committed them. |

Watch your appearance. You never get a second chance to
make a first impression. Here are a few small details that are often overlooked:
- Dress for the position you're interviewing for. If unsure what to
wear, dress conservatively.
- Hair and nails should be neatly manicured.
- Watch body language, stand straight and walk confidently.

Practice your handshake. When you're meeting someone, give a
firm handshake, make eye contact, and smile. |
|
|
Be punctual. Punctual people give off the impression that they
respect everyone else's time. They, in turn, will respect your time. |
|
|
Stay focused. Whenever you're at a meeting or conversing with
someone, it's best to maintain eye contact about 80 percent of the time. |
|
|
Respect others. Listen and don't interrupt. Speak
positively and not critically of others. To get respect, you have to give it. |
