Lunch meeting tips

I was surprised to get an e-mail from an HR VP asking me to have lunch with her before I start in June.

I didn't go through any 1 on 1 interviews before landing this, just 1 campus first round, 1 general wine and cheese and 1 super sunday.

Do you guys have any tips on what to do and specifically what not to do?

 
newbie2banking:
confirm her marital status before asking her along to the party in your pants

make sure you bring condoms. don't want no baby popping out

 

Thanks.

That's what I thought. So if she orders alcohol, desert etc etc just do the same?

How long do you think 1 of these will last? I know most people have lunches w/ MDs so I don't what there will be to talk about w/ VP of HR.

Don't order a salad--be a man and eat a burger.

Though possibly a joke, this is actually a very good point. Don't be a douchebag with what you order. It may not be a big deal with a female HR VP, but the first time I went on a 1on1 lunch with my MD, I ordered a steak and he said "Atta boy. I thought you might have been a pussy and ordered a salad". Then we downed a couple of ribeyes, smoked a couple of Domincans, discussed which Eastern European country had the hottest women and went back to the office.

 

Give her a gift, some chocolates and roses? Also, if the 'date' goes well, give her the card of a divorce attorney and a wink!

LOL!
