名刺交換のマナー
Business Card Exchange Etiquette
日本のビジネスシーンでは、初めて会う人と名刺を交換することがとても大切です。名刺は、その人の顔のようなものだからです。
名刺を渡すときは、相手の方に向けて両手で持ちます。自分の名前が相手から見て正しく読めるように渡すのがマナーです。また、相手から名刺をもらうときは、両手で受け取り、丁寧に読みます。すぐにポケットにしまわず、しばらく机の上に置いておくのが一般的です。
最近はデジタル名刺も増えていますが、対面での挨拶では紙の名刺を使うことがまだ多いです。基本を覚えておくと、自信を持って仕事ができます。
Translation
In the Japanese business scene, exchanging business cards with people you meet for the first time is very important. This is because a business card is like the face of that person. When handing over a card, hold it with both hands facing the other person. It is proper etiquette to hand it over so that the other person can read your name correctly. Also, when receiving a card, accept it with both hands and read it carefully. It is common practice not to put it immediately into your pocket, but to leave it on the desk for a while. Recently, digital business cards are increasing, but paper cards are still often used in face-to-face greetings. If you learn the basics, you can work with confidence.
