Hub You - Is Over Lunch a Good Time to Interview?
It’s that time of year again.Shopping, parties and long lines everywhere. More vacations, more family commitments, and more stress. These are a few of the challenges we all face during the holiday season. The holidays are a wonderful time of the year, and we will enjoy them more as leaders when we learn how to help our organization revel both in the season an
To make a long story, short... YES, I did get the job at least for the next 5 years when this BIG firm decided to "down-size" and get rid of the Regional Manager - ME!! Best thing they could have done and as Paul Harvey says, I'll tell you the "rest" of the story someday.

Closing a store requires considerable effort and attention and the items listed below, in no particular order, are minimal considerations when terminating a franchise and closing a dealership operation.THIS CHECKLIST IS NOT "ALL INCLUSIVE". YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH YOUR ATTORNEY AND ACCOUNTANT AND THIS LIST SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS AN ADDITIONAL AID FOR
You will assume this is a great time to interview. It begins by thinking about FOOD and knowing it's FREE to you. But there might be a "dark" side too. Both the interviewer and the interviewee have risks in this career game. Since all of us are trying, wanting to win, it has some high stakes for all who get involved in the process.
Interviewer says.....
"How about us having lunch to talk about your career decision?" Smooth; completely innocent; what can go wrong is the reply coming through from our subconscious mind. Sure, we remind ourselves about the "not-to" list, but so often we get comfortable and layed back when consuming delectable morsals.
Be on YOUR guard every second --
Never relax your guard when you are seeking a new position with any employer. Most interviewing PROS know that "over lunch" is always a good time for candidates to relax and drop their guard without even thinking about it... to their ultimate regret.
Our true self - who you really are - requires your BEST behavior interacting with the wait-staff; the cashier; everyone you encounter in the restaurant or private club [if you're so fortunate!]
The point is... even if the INTERVIEWER host lets his/her guard down with small talk or orders a "drink" it's NOT a good idea for YOU to follow suit. You're there to talk about your qualifications and expertise, to get to know the person, the company, to make a lasting impression. [at least, that's my opinion!]
It's been long ago, but I remember vividly meeting two guys from the NEW YORK office of a national firm. My Interview was held in a motel room and their first question was... "want a beer?" Actually, I didn't "drink" so it was an easy NO thanks. I'm not sure if this was a test or not, they enjoyed a couple themselves, but I was sure [driving home] that the job was NOT going to be mine.

Are you running your payroll in-house to save the cost of an outside provider? If you are a supermarket or retail chain or a smaller enterprise with a few outlets then you will be familiar with the challenges of safe and timely distribution of payroll checks. If you distribute them physically it is a costly and sometimes unreliable exercise resulting in employee disap

Throughout the progress of a person’s career, chances are there will come a time when a decision has to be made about whether or not to accept work with a company based on the size of the organization. If you are just starting out, there may not be a lot of information available to tell you both the pros and cons for choosing a company according to its size. Companie

Be sure to order foods eaten with utensils, not your hands, so you'll avoid embarassment or reveal poor eating habits. It may sound trivial but it might just be a deciding factor in the interviewing process.
Another irritation today is cell phones. If you have one, leave it in YOUR car and let calls go to your answering service or back home at your message center. This is just a common courtesy when having lunch, dinner, etc. with anyone.
