Conducting business over a meal is a strategic way to get to know someone. For this reason, many organizations are making mealtime a part of their interview process. In this workshop, Keith Soster, Director of Student Engagement for Michigan Dining, will share how to exhibit proper dining etiquette in a business setting. Attendees of this workshop will enjoy a multiple course meal where they will have the opportunity to put what they are learning into practice. During this meal, Keith will demonstrate and provide advice on proper dining behaviors. Learn answers to some of the following questions - How should I introduce people at an event? What direction should food be passed at the table? Where do I place my napkin when briefly excusing myself during the meal? What are acceptable conversation topics? Is it okay to ask for a to-go box?
