Nice Tips but there seems to be a mistake in the diagram. The salad fork and knife are closest to the plate and thats usually served first ?? what happens to Rule 1 then ???

Regarding Rule #7 and #8 : In Indian culture, the host never sits before the guests. Similarly, the host indicates the guests to begin eating first or begin to serve first.

Great additional content, and something that many people do not come across often. The dinner/meal interview is not as common today as in the past (cost prohibitive) and this article surely is the definitive.

Thanks for the great article!

I took a class on this topic in college as I was a business major and then we actually had a dinner with some business officials who were supposed to anonymously grade us afterwards. We did not know this beforehand but I suspected that was what would happen so I was very careful to follow the tips.

Some of my other classmates were not so careful and they got bad reviews…which affected their grades.

You might also want to mention the difference between Continental dining (fork never leaves your left hand) and American (switch fork to right hand) so that people who use one style can recognize the other and not think that the other person has poor dining skills.
