First Impressions

 We learned about interpersonal communication. when we meet someone for the first time, correspondences differ in the Japanese society and Western society.

Japanese people definitely bow. For example, I would like to talking about my part-time. 

I work in the book shop. I was always said that you have to make a good first impression at customer.

Therefore I have to learn the bow and smiling. There are certain levels of bowing and each angle of bowing a different impression.For instance,  When they are making a apology, angle of bowing is 45°.

Similarly, smiling is very important  to give good impressions. because it give a warm smile, They happen automatically smiling . I am told by store manager to keep smile because smile is the most important thing on service. I think  it is hard to change a first impression so I want to be careful about it and I want to gain the way to be given someone good impression.

On the other hand, In western society, when we meet someone for the first time, they shake someone by the hand.In this point important thing is brief, warm, firm and also smiling and eye contact is necessary.Both smiling and eye contact are essential at all time.
