Business Attire

Guidelines:

  • Aim for a classic and understated look when selecting your casual business wear for the day.
  • Clothing should be clean, pressed or wrinkle free, and without holes or frayed areas.
  • All man's shirts must have sleeves and collars.
  • Body piercing which can be seen by any person (with the exception of earrings) is not permitted.
  • Hairstyle should project a professional appearance: clean, neatly trimmed, and well-groomed.
  • Pay attention to the fit of your clothing. Slacks should break just above the shoe, sleeves should reach the base of your hand and just show off a bit of the cuff if you are wearing a jacket, and shirt collars should button comfortably without pinching or leaving gaps.
  • Shoes should be polished and leather is generally preferred.
  • When in doubt, leave it out.

Picture This...

You are a young professional who has applied for an internship position and/or full-time employment at a local business that has recently caught your eye. The business owner contacts you in order to set up a business luncheon so that he/she may get to know you better and to see if you are fit for the job. You gratefully accept because this is the company you really want to work for but the problem is, what do you do next?

  • Meal begins when the host unfolds his or her napkin. This is your signal to do the same.
  • It is typical to place the napkin on your lap.
  • In regards to your silverware, the key is to start on the outside and work your way in.

Body Language

Place Setting

  • If, after looking over the menu, there are items you are uncertain about, ask your server any questions you may have.
  • An employer will generally suggest that your order be taken first; his or her order will be taken last.
  • If you cannot pronounce the food, refer to the dish by its description according to the menu.
  • As a guest, you should not order one of the most expensive items on the menu or more than two courses unless your host indicates that it is all right.

Ordering

Meal/Meeting

  • Be polite and say Thank You.
  • Don't forget to leave a gratuity, no matter who picks up the bill. Usually 15-18% over the cost of your meal.
  • Offer additional contact information to host.
  • Always end with a handshake.

Conclusion

  • Make sure your handshake is firm.
  • Make sure that your hands are clean.
  • If your hands are sweaty, give them a quick nonchalant wipe on your pants.
  • When you offer your hand, look the person in the eye and smile.

Handshake

  • While in business, make introductions based on rank and importance, regardless of gender.
  • If you are introducing an employer to a client, ensure that you state the client's name first because the seller defers to the buyer.
