A random thought about employer dinners
I was at a pre-interview dinner event yesterday at Pizza House. A very random thought crossed my mind and I thought I would share. The thought occurred to me when I was drinking a glass of ice-water.
Never hold your glass in your right hand.
Why? Because your hand will be cold when you go to give a handshake and you'll have to (perhaps awkwardly) shift your glass from one hand to another. The risk of spilling is completely unnecessary.
Also, while standing, never try to consume a beverage and an appetizer at the same time. It's a difficult balancing act to have both (a plate in one hand and a glass in another), and having one item is just a little bit smoother and relaxed. You can always grab a bread-stick after you are done conversating!
