I've witnessed hundreds of business meals that make or break careers - and I'm about to share the 5 dining etiquette rules that separate professionals who win from those who get passed over. Financial services firms, global consulting companies, advertising agencies, and tech companies across every industry are using business meals as part of their final interview process - because what happens at the table matters just as much as what happens in the boardroom.
One HR executive I know watched countless qualified candidates lose opportunities not because of their credentials, but because of what happened at the dining table. Whether you're a junior or senior executive interviewing for your dream role, pitching to prospects, or entertaining key clients, these strategies will give you the confidence to navigate any business meal with professionalism and respect.
