How Do You Have Your Lunch?

How do you have your lunch? When first I noticed the heading, I though it was some kind of tips on diet. Well well, I was wrong! It is some philosophy on how to fully utilize your lunchtime to foster closer your relationship with your colleagues, managers or even boss. I think it is very meaningful & useful. Let's see how a LUNCH could help in upgrade your career ^o^

1.) Is the lunch the Wining Point?NEVER HAVE LUNCH ALONE
Having lunch in a good & relax restaurant would definitely well than the serious office. Lunch is a good opportunity to understand & know each other better. For a longer mutual work ship, build up friendship is necessary.

2.) What to eat?SOMETHING FRESH & SIMPLE
Take something less cholesterol & calorie because it could make you asleep after lunchtime. Something light but nutrition would be better to keep you fresh & energetic for the rest of the day.

3.) Where to eat?PRIORITY : NEAREST PLACE WITH QUEIT ENVIRONMENT
Find a place that near to your office so that you have enough time to enjoy your lunch & chat. A peaceful & comfortable environment is essential too.

4.) Who to eat with?START INDIVIDUALLY
The starting is the hardest. You may find difficult to get into group of colleagues but it is easier to start with a personal. You may find an excuse to further discuss some office works with your senior. Usually he / she would not refuse & may ask you to join them for lunch. If you succeed for the 1st & 2nd time, it would be absolutely smoother to participate in that group for the coming lunch.

5.) What to talk about during lunch?START WITH SMALL TALK
Don’t be afraid that you are short of topic to talk about. Just start with small talk, such as the menu, environment, decoration & etc. Conversation would grow & spread from time to time.
