The first impression is the key

This probably the oldest advise in the book when trying to make people remember your name or who you are. The moment you are introduced to a new colleague, be sure to give a great good impression. With the great good impression, people will think that you are worth getting interested in and is worth getting to know thus aimed to be friends with.

A part of this first step is remembering people's names as you are introduced. Remember the names will make it easier for you to approach these people.

Dine with your co-workers

There is also a great chance for you to make friends during break specially lunch breaks. As soon as you get an opportunity to go with a lunch group do not hesitate as these opportunities will not come very often. Lunch breaks are also the only hours at work where people can discuss on any topic freely and express or do pretty much anything they want. This is a chance for you to talk about yourself and the things that you have in common with your co-workers.

Try to be more open-minded

Unfortunately, not all people in the work neighborhood will be willing to take you in as a friend. Thus, you will need to understand that and be open-minded about it. Open mindedness in this situations will allow you acceptance of your situation as well as formulation of a plan for those people who dislike you to like you. Open mindedness not only lets you think of ways on how to counter problems but can also show your leadership skills.

Don't rush making friends

Lastly, making real friends take time. Certainly you can make friends within the day but that should not be your foundation of a 'real' friendship. However, it shouldn't take you about a year to actually make one. Making friends happens naturally and when it does it lasts a lifetime.
