How to Act at a Business Lunch A lunch meeting or a job interview over a meal? Don’t overlook proper etiquette! From seating to selecting the right dish, how you handle yourself can leave a lasting impression. Key tips: Wait for the host to sit first. Choose a meal that’s easy to eat. Avoid alcohol and expensive menu items. Wait for everyone to be served before eating. Mind your table manners—cut food one piece at a time and avoid talking with your mouth full. Remember, small etiquette mistakes can make a big difference! #BusinessEtiquette #LunchMeeting #Professionalism #JobInterview #CareerTips

Go on a 'business trip' not a 'relaxed Sunday drive'. If you approach a #mediainterview or #presentation in the same way you would a relaxed Sunday drive (meandering, spontaneous), then you never know where you're going to end up. And that's not only highly disrespectful to your audience, it's also a highly fraught strategy. Successful interviews and presentations rely on disciplined and intentional preparation - think a business trip. With business trips, you have a dedicated itinerary - you know exactly where you're going, you know exactly why you're going there, who you intend to meet, you anticipate delays and how you'll respond, and you pack accordingly. Do the latter, not the former if you want to excel - or fly! - in interviews or presentations. 🛫 #mediatrainer #mediatraining #presentationskills #executivepresentation

Wondering why you didn’t get an offer? Or, wondering why that candidate didn’t accept your offer? When it comes to recruiting top lawyers, it's essential to look beyond just academic achievements and professional experience. Although being a lawyer isn’t the same as being in sales, the most personable lawyers are often the ones who shine in interviews and excel in their roles. Here’s why: - Authenticity Matters: Partners want to see the real you, not just a polished robot reciting the right answers. Genuine connections can set you apart. 🧠 - Client Relationships: Being personable and relatable is key to building strong client relationships, which are crucial for repeat business and long-term success. 🤝 - Holistic Evaluation: While academics and experience are highly important, showcasing your personality can be equally impactful. It demonstrates your ability to engage, empathise, and communicate effectively. 🗣️ In my experience, I've seen talented candidates miss out on job offers not because they lacked academic credentials or professional experience, but because they lacked personal skills or came across with a "know it all" attitude. On the flip side, I've also seen clients lose out on top lawyers because there wasn’t a genuine connection or they felt the culture wasn’t right for them. Ultimately, the best lawyers are those who combine their technical skills with a personable, genuine approach. Whether you're a candidate or a client, fostering authentic connections is key to finding the right fit.

Do you find candidates are dropping out during your recruitment process, or not accepting your job offers? Here are some tips for keeping candidates engaged: 1.     Spend as much energy selling the role and company to the candidate as you do expecting them to sell themselves. It is likely your role won’t be the only one they are considering, so it’s essential to show them what a great employer you are and what you may be offering that’s different to the other companies they are considering. 2.     Simplify your recruitment process. I recommend no more than 2 stages (interviews or practical assessments) except for senior roles. 3.     Respond to *every* application. This can be difficult to do, especially in a small business, but it’s essential for your business reputation. Candidates want to feel like you value their application and the time they are spending preparing for and attending interviews. It’s worth investing in an applicant tracking system if you are recruiting regularly. 4.     Give feedback. Candidates are investing time in your business with no reward. Honest feedback could really help them in future applications and they will remember you for it, especially now when lots of employers are failing to do this. 5.     Do everything in your power to deliver a fantastic #candidateexperience, regardless of whether or not they are successful – If you do this, there’s a good chance they will look out for future vacancies and tell others what a great company you are, which will encourage more applications for future vacancies. Let me know what you think of these. Do you have any examples of others which have worked for you?
