Let your interviewer order first and order a meal for yourself that is less expensive than
his or hers. Pick a meal that is small and easy to eat.
Eat quickly, so that you can focus on your interviewer and answering questions. It is a
good idea to drink water, tea or juice, and no alcohol, even if your interviewer has ordered
alcohol.
Take small bites so that you can quickly finish chewing before speaking. Never speak with
food in your mouth!
Remember to thank your host for the meal at its conclusion. A thank you note will be a
nice touch as well.
