Cards are presented with both hands, the card being face up with the persons name and title clearly visible. The card is then received in the same manner (whilst ensuring you are seen reading, yes actually reading, the details on the card itself). What a concept. As if business cards were ever given out to be read - apart from possibly to impress your folks or someone down the pub - neither of which work incidentally, or so I've been told... by my folks and various people down the pub as it happens...
Anyway, we digress.
The process is then repeated in reverse. As you can probably imagine, when you are meeting a lot of people for the first time, this can be a pretty lengthy procedure.
Now, despite the fact that I have been out here for about 5 months, I still can't remember to even take my business cards with me anywhere. Must be some sort of mental block. On the one occasion I did remember to take my cards I managed to spill a whole box of them on the floor. Not exactly the first impression I was looking for. Hey ho, maybe I'm more used to the 'chucking' and 'flipping' delivery method after all ?
