Interviewing for a Job Over A Meal
Don't order the spaghetti! As if the job interview process isn't stressful enough, now they say they want to do it over lunch.
Ah, yes, but that's what it is all about, isn't it? How better to assess a candidate's social skills and ability to perform under pressure then to invite her to lunch?
Never fear. Handling a job interview over a meal does not have to spell disaster. But it is all about preparation. Just like any other job interview, a job seeker needs to prepare in advance.
This means job seekers should:
- practice job interview techniques
- refresh their memory about all their accomplishments for easier recall
- dress appropriately for the appointment
- be engaged and involved in the entire job interview process
- ask appropriate questions
