Do you like being introduced to every single employee on your first day of work?

No I forget everyone.  My current company has a good method where they buy a box or two of donuts and put them in the new employee's cubicle.  Then people stop by at their leisure and introduce themselves.

When I, as an HR Director, ask an individual to tell him about him or herself, I am looking to see where they go with the question.  Honestly, I am NOT looking to hear about friend, family, vacations, hobbies, or interests.  I AM looking to something to give me a clue as to how this complete stranger sitting in front of me will fit in on our team.  I want to hear that they are committed/dedicated to an employer, I NEED to hear that they are dependable, I really want to hear that they are a team player.\n\nTypically the "Tell me about yourself" question is the first thing an interviewer will ask.  It is the interviewee's first opportunity to shine!  Often times at this end of this question I have made my decision.

I think most people feel the same way you do.  I always find that carefully listening to people & then asking them questions about themselves is a great way to start a conversation. Most people like to talk about their likes, dislikes, etc. & just need an invitation to do so.

I can call everyone by their first name the first time...I know everyone well.

You can always be straight forward to him or her. Or get a group of fellow workers to go to him or her at the same time to express the feelings. Strength is always better in numbers!

I've had different comments like\n1.)  "You smile too much!"\n2.)  "You're always smiling"\n3.)  "I love your eyes"\n4.)  Or how I make people feel comfortable right away.  A lot of new hires at my work have stated that they felt comfortable by my first hello.  I walk right in & say "Hi!", with a smile of course.

yep.  I am the only one who needs to recognize the work I'm doing.  Who gives a damn what other people think, good or bad?  Besides, the experience will help you later in your endeavors.

I started my job in November and was in exactly the same situation as you.  I was sort of laid back and quiet and everyone there knew each other and had like you said established camaraderie, it took about two weeks before people generally remembered my name and even would include me in conversation.  But before I knew it I was the one people centered around and was invited to go out with the "guys" afterwards only because I didn't try to throw myself on them, I let them warm up to me.  If you're not the most outgoing person then work that casual, cool and confident angle with people.  Do NOT bring doughnuts in or be cheezy about the ordeal then you're just crying for social interaction.  In a nutshell I hate to use the "cliche" be yourself...but there is much truth to that...Be yourself but do it with confidence.

This is a complicating situation because when you first start a new job, you basically have to talk with people like that in order to get accepted. Over time, though, it gets old and like you said, you have to work. \n\nI would talk with them at lunch, stick my head in on them at breaks and after work. Just so they know that you are not acting snobby and still want to be their friends.\n\nBe sure and make a comment like " I have so much work to do because so and so has me doing all sorts of stuff." That way, you are 1. Gossiping 2. letting them know why you haven't been around lately 3. making pre-excuses for the next day when you really don't have time to stick your head in and say hello. 4. Taking the attention off of you an putting it on someone else.\n\nYou should discuss this with your boss and let her know that you want to give 100% to your job but if she needs you for anything, just to let you know. She will be amazed at how dedicated you are and make her open her eyes to the others that talk too much and get little done.\n\nGood Luck!
