1. Put forward your experiences and skills wholeheartedly in a lucid manner. Think clearly and then answer the question. It is alright to have some seconds to think before you reply. Try to be the person you are in a professional way.
2. Be optimistic. Try to be honest about a sudden change, break in your career or a lower grade in the appraisal without hiding the facts. Don’t give excuses or pass on the blame to someone else. Employers want to know your attitude towards things, and it should be positive. Let them know what you gained from that experience.
3. Build up an impressive resume. In this competitive world, you need to sell your skills relating to the job description and display qualities which will impress your employer.

Being there just in time is important. Carry a route map with you if you are visiting a new place, to avoid confusion. That shows your organizational skills as well.
6. Remember to carry a notepad or a file folder and a pen with you. You may label it with the prospective employer’s name.

Prepare yourself for the occasion and refresh your etiquette. Be well equipped to engage in a meaningful conversation during the lunch.
