Imagine that you receive an invitation to an exclusive work event where you don't know anyone. How will you prepare?

  • I will find out as much as possible about the guests and identify key individuals for the interview.
  • I'll let the course of the evening flow naturally; opportunities will arise on their own.
  • I will arrange for a companion in advance so I don't feel lonely.
  • I will use it as a challenge to improve my social skills.
  • I don't want to risk feeling isolated, so I'll probably decline the invitation.
