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

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 you:
• 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.
