i am not good at work schmoozing
i just got invited to join a big group of managers for a work dinner tonight. i'm flattered because the main higher up dude asked me just now. and i feel like it'd be stupid to turn it down. but i'm so uncomfortable in these situations. guess i'll just try my best to not let my nerves show and find at least one familiar face to sit by.
any words of wisdom from professional schmoozers out there?
and i'm kicking myself for wearing a bright green sweater on St. Patty's day. i feel a little silly now.
Re: i am not good at work schmoozing
Whenever I've been in that situation, I just smile and nod... and I usually only speak when I have something super important or valuable to say (which, in my case, is almost never
).
I agree w/ pp... don't try overly hard to impress anyone. Just try and relax, have a good time.
That's what I was thinking too.
I'm glad you had a good time, Katie!
That's great news! I agree with the others that your invitation sounds like it could mean very good things for your professional status in your company. I'm glad it went great!! All that worrying for nothing...
