| 621610 | 2007-12-16 00:39:00 | Dear all, The title has pretty much described what I am interested to know, any good suggestions out there? Let's assume that the office consists of only 15 or so people. There are no specified morning tea or lunch hour sessions for that company. Cheers :) |

Cheers :) Just go and talk to them - I assume you're new, so just go and say hi, shake their hands, and have a quick chat. Alternatively, get someone who you already know well at the company to introduce you to everyone. |

| 621615 | 2007-12-16 06:46:00 | Some people are extroverts, and can meet 15-20 people in 8 minutes. And after those 8 minutes, can have three lunch appointments, a house-sitting job in Barbadoes, and three dates with the hot totties. Assuming however, you are like the rest of us, meet people slowly, and let word get around about the "new guy". Start with the people you NEED to know, then work around to the people you SHOULD know. It's obviously a small office, so let the grapevine do some of the work for you. |

| 621618 | 2007-12-16 10:47:00 | make a point to remember co-worker names and start conversation - you'll soon get to know everyone reasonably well within a few months got nothing to talk about? go watch the news and see what the latest story is, ask what they are doing/have done on the weekend/holidays, play the "have you seen -insert good and recent movie or popular tv show here that you have watched-?" card |
