Emily Post offered that statement as the primary rule of etiquette in 1922. Some of her more specific advice may seem peculiar by today’s standards—men don’t need to remember when and how to lift their hat in greeting, for example—but this principle holds as true as ever. Courtesy and common sense will always be your best guide, but it is helpful to have some general ideas regarding dining and business etiquette. This booklet provides some basic information for your day-to-day experiences. There are many things to keep in mind when dining, but as always common sense should be your guide. When dining with a prospective employer, remember that it may look like lunch or dinner but it’s still business. The way you act during a meal will have an impact on the hiring decision and your future.
