Not out to lunch…at lunch. As in, what do you need to know to have a successful job interview over lunch? Interviews over meals may seem less formal than office interviews, but they are just as important. If you have a lunch interview for reasons other than your interviewer is truly incredibly busy, it’s because he or she is looking for something more than just your job skills. Like, how do you handle yourself in a semi-social situation? Can you focus with multiple distractions? (Are you gross when you eat?) MN Headhunter has a great article on Business Lunch Etiquette (which you’ll need to know anyway when you get the job in medical sales, pharmaceutical sales, laboratory sales, clinical diagnostics sales, DNA products sales, medical and surgical supply sales, medical device sales, imaging sales, pathology sales, or any healthcare sales, management, and marketing position). He covers everything from what to do with your napkin and utensils, what to eat and when to eat it, and how to handle the check.
