If you are lucky enough to get an interview for lunch, there are a few rules you need to follow. First, remember that lunchtime interviews are more for casual situations. For example, if you are in your second or last interview. Lunchtime interviews are also for people in executive positions.

The more relaxed atmosphere is a sign that you are closer to work. However, you don’t want to make a major mistake like bad lunch etiquette. They are watching you to see how you respond to a more relaxed environment, so be prepared.

First, ask for something from the menu that is simple. Something that allows you to take convenient bites. Limit yourself to water or a soda, but never alcohol. Even if your interviewers ask for a beer or wine, I recommend that you refrain.

In general, sticking to a similar starter plate or order from your interviewer is not a bad idea. Of course, wipe your mouth with the napkin and avoid anything that makes you pick your teeth in the interview.

Also be careful not to use your fingers. Although the company pays for lunch, be prepared to pay both you and your interviewer just in case.

Now, the interview itself implies that you DO NOT speak with your mouth full. Also, don’t order anything with onions. Also, only ask for desert if the interviewer does.

This is one of the best types of interviews to have. The only thing is that you have to watch your etiquette and your body language more than ever.
