如何獨自參加尷尬和厭煩的社交活動
Attending social events solo can feel awkward and icky, even for extroverted types. Networking events are especially tough, since there’s a lot riding on your ability to make a good impression. But, you don’t have to skip out on a great career opportunity, just because you don’t have a plus-one on your RSVP. head to your next event with your head held high and a stack of business cards in your pocket. Here are some ways to embrace the solo flying and get some networking done.
獨自參加社交活動會感到有些尷尬和厭煩，即使是性格外向的人，也是如此。社交活動尤爲困難，因爲你需要依靠自己的能力來給他人留下好印象。但是，你也不要因爲自己沒有附加的資源預留協議，就讓非常好的事業機會偷偷溜走。擡頭挺胸去參加下一個社交活動，在口袋中裝上一沓商務名片。下面市一些讓你享受獨自坐飛機完成一些社交活動的方法。
1. Don’t Put Baby in a Corner
1.不要躲在角落裏
If you’re anxious, you might feel a bit like a caged animal when you hit the crowd. Instead of hiding in the corner, put yourself where the animals like to congregate: by the food or drink. Most networking events have some kind of offering of one or the other, if not both (and you should get your money’s worth, after all). When you put yourself near the vittles, you can create a title for yourself: Expert. Offer advice on what tastes good to those approaching the watering hole, and then swoop in with an easy introduction and handshake. BOOM, you’re networking.
如果你感到焦慮，當你在人羣中的時候，你會感覺有點像被困在籠子裏的小動物。不要躲在角落裏面，要讓自己像其他動物一樣聚在一起：吃東西，飲酒。大多數社交活動，一般是以邀請的一種形式或者其他形式參加，如果都不是的話（畢竟你需要讓你花的錢有價值。）當你站在食物旁邊的時候，你可以給自己一個封號：專家。給酒吧附近位置的美食提一些建議，然後吃一些東西，並簡單介紹一下自己，與他們握手。喔噢，你正在進行社交哦！
2. Talk to the People You Know: The Organizers
2.與你認識的人交談：組織者
You might have come alone, but you will always know (even just by name) the event organizers. Seek them out, and make sure to introduce yourself to them (and pass out the all-important business cards, too). That way, even if your gumption fails and they’re the only ones you speak with all night, you’ll at least have a few new contacts, and impressive ones, too!
或許你是獨自參加社交活動，但是你一般都會認識（甚至只是知道名字）活動組織者。找到組織者，確保向他們介紹你自己（給他們發所有重要的商務名片）。這樣，即使你精疲力竭了，他們也是你整晚唯一需要交談的朋友，至少你能夠接觸一些新的商業朋友，以及一些印象深刻的人。
