May the Fork be With You

Do any of these problems sound familiar?

  • What do I wear on my first day on the job?
  • I am going to lunch with my prospective employer. I have no idea what to talk about!
  • The word “networking” makes me super nervous. I don’t know what I am supposed to do.
  • I am graduating this semester, and I am not sure how to handle formal dinners. And, what am I supposed to do about happy hour? As a new employee, is it OK to have a beer?
  • If I get invited to a business lunch, what should I order?
