In the Know in Germany: The Indispensable Guide to Working and Living in Germany

by Jennifer Phillips

Be IN THE KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Doing business across borders is very different from doing business across town–subtle and not-so-subtle differences in attitudes and etiquette play a big role.

Did you know?
• Be on time! Germans are very time-conscious; if you’re late, you might be seen as irresponsible.
• You’re expected not to wash your car, mow your lawn, or otherwise disturb the peace on Sundays; it’s part of Germany’s mandatory quiet hours.
• If you don’t want to sound insincere, don’t use excessive compliments. Do you really love that blouse your coworker is wearing?

In the Know in Germany helps
• Fit right in by understanding local manners, etiquette, and behaviors
• Navigate through everyday life with tips for the whole family
• Get an insider’s perspective on the social and business environment

The book includes a FREE 60-minute CD with the key phrases you need to make a great impression.
