“Some people are huggers,” Gilbert said. “They want to go up there and they haven’t seen you in a couple of years and they want to give you a big old hug and say hi and do all those different things. However, here are people out there who are a little more apprehensive about that type of greeting. So, it’s important when you get into the environment to feel it out.”
Gilbert says a fist bump may be more appropriate. Another issue that may come up is distractions. Gilbert says you may need to find a quieter place in the office to get work done or wear noise-canceling headphones.
