First Impression

I never thought this day would come but it did. I finally met my new office-mates / colleague today in Genpact Alabang. They had this "Meet and Greet" idea wherein it includes introducing yourself, touring the new workplace, discussing the contract and a free snack. Everyone is really nice and most of them have a call center experience. 

But do we really have to make a lasting impression? Im not really comfortable in introducing myself in public. But I think that making a good impression is crucial in building relationships. I'm not afraid in talking to a small group of people but if its more than 20 people, I tend to get nervous and sweat a lot and make weird hand gestures. It's really nerve-wracking experience for me. I've met some who are into racing, some are into bands and others that are into online gaming. I hope I made a positive impression to them despite my awkward approach.

Its funny how I find myself starting all over again. At times I get nostalgic about the past experiences I had from my previous company. I'm at the same place, same job but different people. It reminds me of this song called "So Far Away" by Bamboo originally sung by Carol King. You can check it out if your feeling nostalgic as well.
