Dressing for Business
D1
Did you see the way that Brian came to work yesterday? Ever since he came back from that conference in Silicon Valley, he's been coming to work dressed in jeans and sweatshirts. It's like he's decided to make himself at home in his office. I don't know how long it'll take before the management talks to him about it.
He was really influenced by the way they do things on the west coast. I guess the working atmosphere is a lot more relaxed and casual in California. It comes from the information technology industry.. there isn't such a large division between home and office, so people want to work in the clothes they feel more relaxed in.
Maybe so, but it seems kind of strange, which the rest of us in white shirts, dark suites, and ties.
It's not as bad as are allowed to wear more casual jackets and trousers. Besides, didn't you hear what Brian found on his desk this morning?
What's that?
Management decided to give him four brand new white shirts. That's their way of telLing him that his new style of dressing down is not quite acceptable.
D2
Even if our company didn't have a dress code, I still think people would wear formal clothing to work.
I wouldn't be so sure... People want to wear what they feel most cofortalbe in.
Maybe that's ture for some positions, but I think the marketing and sales staff would definitely not agree. They dress for success? You can't go out on a sales cal if you are dressed in jeans. It's just not respectful to you client.
I think what you wear is so overrated. I would rather have a down-to-earth, honest and solid sales person than a painted, patent leaather, designer suite salesman.
It's not as simple as that. People judge you by your appearance, whether you like it or not. So dressing professional is being prefessional. The image that you portray to others is so important in business. It's your imag and how others perecive you that makes the difference between landing or lossing a sale.
Maybe you're right, but I'll take my sneakers and jeans any day!

International Business Travel
Dialogue 1
A: I hear you're being sent to Madrid for the annual conference. Is that right?
B: Yes, it would be my first trip overseas. Actually, it's going to be my first time leaving the country.
A: Are you serious? You haven't even been anywhere on vacation?
B: No, I have never vacationed anywhere exotic. But even if I don't get a chance to travel on my personal time, at least I can travel on company time!
A: Well, being able to go to the conference sounds like such a great opportunity. Have you applied at the embassy for a visa yet?
B: Yes, it wasn't too hard to get. All I had to do was fill out the paperwork and pay the application fee.
A: You leave next Tuesday, right? What time is your flight?
B: My flight departs at 7 am. I have everything except for my luggage ready.
A: If your flight is leaving so early, I can take you to the airport and see you off. I'll still be able to make it into the office by 9.
B: That would be great! Thanks a lot!
Dialogue 2
A: How were things in the Tokyo branch when you were there?
B: Good! They have expanded and are doing better than they were last quarter. It's nice to see some improvement for a change.
A: Do you see the trend continuing over the next few months?
B: Yes, especially with so many of our executives going back and forth from here to Japan. The only problem is, they may have trouble when they go to open up business here.
A: Why would you say that?
B: They aren't too familiar with doing business outside of Japan. There are a lot of cultural differences to account for.
A: I'll say! Sometimes they just do things really differently. But one thing I can say, they are really hospitable.
B: Have you ever been to Japan?
A: Sure! I just got back yesterday. I'm still suffering from jet lag.
