Which Fork Do I Use?: And Other Etiquette Rules I Learned After Aging Out of Foster Care

by Georgette Todd

The world was my oyster but I used the wrong fork. ~ Oscar Wilde Manners matter. Yet, what if due to no fault of your own, you weren't brought up in a home where etiquette was taught? What if you never bothered to learn about etiquette because you always had way more important things to think about? Wherever you're at in life right now in a foster home or adopted, in juvenile hall, recently emancipated, in a treatment center, in school juggling a million things or a young adult struggling to get by the harsh reality is that everyone is judged by etiquette. How you conduct yourself in public spaces, and privately with others, is constantly being assessed to determine what kind of person you are. The good news is that while not everyone has the same background, everyone is judged by the same etiquette standards. So, you too should have access to knowing what the etiquette rules are for everyday life. In this book, you'll learn how to make the best first impression for every occasion, how to impress a potential employer, how to behave at work, how to tip in restaurants and when you travel, how to communicate on the phone and in email, how to know which utensil to use in any meal setting, and much more. This beginner's guide is a must read for anyone interested in knowing what to do, and what not to do, in any social situation.
