How to best behave during a dinner interview for a job? Please help?

Question

Should I ask lots of questions? Thank you

Answer 1

know alot about the company before going to the interview. go to their website etc. Questions are great, but make sure they get what they need. Order something that is easy to eat (nothing that will cause you to slurp or get food all over your face or make you look like you are shoving food down you face). Remember they expect you to be able to eat and hold a conversation at the same time. Don't put your elbows on the table. Be polite and arrive early. Dress professionally. If they ask you questions be prepared not only to answer it without ums and uhs, but give examples of how you applied it in the workplace. Remember you are selling yourself, what makes you so different from other people they are hiring? Shake with two hands, etc. Good luck! Also come prepared with two resumes just in case. Do not fold it either or staple it. use a paper clip if you need it

Answer 2

The most important thing about a dinner interview is to never order spaghetti! Avoid any messy foods... and eat sparingly. If your interview orders a drink, you'll have to make the call if you want alcohol or not... if you're not sure, order the drink... you don't have to finish it. As for questions, let the interviewer do most of the talking. When it is time to ask questions, ask him or her how much they like working for this company... that might open some real insights for you.

Eat something ahead of time so that the food is relatively uninteresting. This allows you to focus on displaying the same manners as your hosts and maintaining a good conversation. You don't need to clean your plate, so make sure you order similarly to your hosts. Eat enough to seem real. If alcohol is served sip it very sparingly. Be interested in what seems to interest them and get them to do most of the talking. Jobs are had by listening with interest more often than by talking. Discover their passion and talk about your passion for the same thing. If, in fact, you are not passionate about their passion, clean your plate and get another interview.
