A little cell phone etiquette



It’s not unusual for companies to have cell phone polices that dictate how you can use your personal cell phone during office hours. Whether or not you are allowed to use your phone at work, it’s always a good idea to practice good cell phone etiquette. Here are a few reminders:  


·       Be considerate of those around you if you are at work, set the notification on vibrate.

·       In the company of others, it’s considerate to only use your phone for important calls. Casual chatter can wait. If you aren’t sure, let the call go to voice mail. If you do answer an unimportant call, it’s okay to tell the person it’s not a good time for you to talk. Get off the call quickly.

·       If you have to take a call that you believe to be important, apologize for the interruption and indicate that you believe the call can’t wait.

·       If you are at work, find a private place to make your call. It’s just considerate find someplace to talk where your conversation can’t be overheard, even if what you are discussing isn’t personal.
