Interrupting
Appropriately
- If you must interrupt a person’s conversation or phone
call, stand where you can be seen.
- Wait for that person to acknowledge you or signal for
you to come back later.
- When it’s time for you to speak, begin with “Excuse me
for interrupting, but…”
- Be specific and to the point with your request or
information.
- Thank the person for his or her time.
