What about interviews over a meal?

Q. What about interviews over a meal?

A.


  • Avoid ordering messy dishes that need to be eaten by hand.
  • It's very awkward, but possible to take notes on a notepad during a meal. If you must take notes, bring a small pad and/or write everything down after the table is cleared.
  • Don't drink alcohol, even if your interviewer does.
  • Avoid ordering the most expensive or the cheapest dish. Try to order in the same price range as your host.
  • Don't talk with your mouth full. If the interviewer asks you a question, swallow your food before answering (don't spit it out).
  • Don't offer to pay for the meal.
