I'm having lunch with my future employer, any advice?

Hello,

I'm a recent grad who'll be joining an IM firm. My boss wants me to have lunch with my future team before I start in July.

Any advice on how to impress them or keep a good conversation flowing?

Thanks.

since you will be working with them in the future its best to be yourself. Also, its good to run through the news and latest events to help you get a conversation going..

 

The intention of the gathering is most likely for you to get your informal questions out. If you don't know already, ask all the questions you've been wondering: Dress code, firm strategies, yada yada
