Imagine sitting down to a formal meal at a job interview or scholarship reception only to be confronted with an array of utensils and a barrage of glassware. Which fork do you use? Which small plate is yours? Where do you put your knife?
Don’t let such questions make you nervous in front of your prospective employer or scholarship donor. Attend UMKC Career Services’ Etiquette Dinner on Wednesday, October 15th in the Student Union from 6-8pm. Learn proper etiquette so you can focus on making a good first impression!
Tickets are $20 and must be purchased in advance—if you haven’t gotten yours yet, there’s still time: deadline is October 9th. Stop by UMKC Career Services in the Atterbury Student Success Center (2nd floor).
