Argentina is characterized by its individualistic and competitive culture, which is mostly evident in the big cities. In a business meeting or job interview, this means it is important to speak with authority and highlight one's accomplishments in a way that remains relevant to the conversation or the situation. Argentines consider eye contact important during conversations.

When talking to one another, Argentines generally stand closer and are more apt to touch each other than Europeans or North Americans will. In business meetings or job interviews, it is customary for men to shake hands. When the greeting is occurring between a man and a woman or between two women, it is tradition to kiss the other person on the cheek. It is also customary for two men to give each other kisses on the cheek or to hug one another with hearty pats on the back in greeting (called an abrazo) but only when they are friends or have had a long-term working relationship. Business cards are exchanged at the beginning of a meeting in order to identify the participants, making the interaction easier. It is common to give the card as a way of introducing oneself or to present it after another person gives out his/her own. Titles such as doctor, professor, architect, lawyer and engineer are important to Argentines and are most often used in front of the person's last name.

This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete Argentina guide.
