Good manners are significant for getting a job. The atmosphere in the corporate job world is so much different from that in typical college jobs; once you’re employed after college, you’re expected to know how to dress and act. According to company recruiters and HR managers nationwide, proper etiquette among students they’ve interviewed is extremely lacking. Companies do not only want the students equipped with strong academic credentials and solid leadership skills, they’re also insisting on excellent interpersonal skills and etiquette is considered a component of those skills. Employers can afford to be very critical in who they hire due to the challenging job market, so get a head start on the competition.
