Always leave a good impression to your colleagues

First impressions last - a common saying that is so true with regards to meeting people for the first time and for them to remember you. This is the moment when you can leave a mark in the other person's mind so he or she can remember you. However, you should not think of showing off as leaving a good impression. To leave a good first impression you need to make sure you're not doing something foolish or something that could ruin your reputation - you can try something funny, awkward or smart, just as long as it can gain positive results.

Leave your name or nickname for them to remember you by

As soon as you get to the introduction part, be sure to give your real name. By simply giving your name or nickname when introduced you can already have a good starting point in getting friends at work. Nicknames can also be a good option when your name is too long to memorize or may have a funny ring to it. Whenever creating a nickname for work, you just have to make sure it is easy to remember and really represents who you are.

Say 'yes' to lunch or dinner with colleagues

If possible, you should always go with colleagues for lunch whenever invited. A common time to socialize and make friends at work is during lunch or coffee breaks. Therefore, try as much as possible to bond with your colleagues when they invite you to go with them for lunch. With this, you can show your desire to get to know other people as well as show that you are friendly and approachable.
