The Dining Skills Program

Savvy dining skills can play a major role in the careers of both prospective and promotion-conscious employees. For instance, the top management of many Fortune 500 companies take their potential employees to lunch or dinner to observe their comfort level with executives, spouses, waitrons, and yes, even myriad pieces of silverware. Management also keeps watch at business luncheons, dinner meetings, and office parties. All are considered prime occasions to observe dining skills and social etiquette of prospective employees. It is imperative that individuals prepare themselves to take advantage of future placement potential during these scenarios.

To climb the corporate ladder, it is up to you to seize every opportunity to distinguish yourself from the competition in today’s global economy. Today, technical knowledge is not enough. Contracts are negotiated during meals and in social settings. Knowing the appropriate etiquette for each occasion and applying it will not only give you that distinction, but will also give you a greater feeling of self-confidence. Dining Skills for Today is designed to help prepare you for situations where business relationships are developed and strengthened in social settings.
