  Great podcasts, thanks!

  We advise our clients that a lunch interview serves to achieve two additional criteria that a typical interview doesn't:

  1. It enables the interviewer gets a better sense of your personality as to your 'organizational fit' within the company or team they are looking to place you.

  2. And a more accurate gauge of how 'personable / presentable' you are in a social setting (ie. could they use you to do something similar with clients).

  Of course you are still in an interview so be well prepared but delivery of your answers should come across more relaxed and conversational. You should also know that very few get the opportunity for a lunch interview, at this stage you are most likely one of two or three candidates. Fleur Wiig, CEO ResumeTemplates-USA

  Lunch interview is set to make the employee comfortable and lower his nervousness.

  Do not worry much about the lunch interview, be what your are. Any way nice interview tips by Matt and Lisa.

  Great advice guys! Sounds like applicants should definitely pack some snacks for what hopefully will be a long day of interviewing. Especially, given the "working lunch", as you probably won't be able to fill your word-hole to your liking. Adding to Lisa's point...avoid the tuna fish sandwich!
