Should you Drink wine during dinner job interview? | The Riderflex Podcast

The Riderflex Podcast: Inspiring & Hiring

In the dynamic and often unpredictable world of job interviews, the question of whether or not to have wine during a dinner job interview can be quite perplexing. Steve Urban, through his extensive experience and unique perspective, sheds light on this subject with a pragmatic approach. His advice emphasizes the importance of mirroring your interviewer's choices to maintain a level of professionalism and rapport. If your interviewer opts for a glass of wine, it can be acceptable for you to follow suit, provided you maintain moderation and ensure your focus remains on the interview itself. This strategy not only shows that you're adaptable and socially savvy but also that you're conscious of maintaining a professional demeanor in less formal settings.

Ultimately, the decision to have wine during a dinner job interview should be guided by the context of the meeting, the company culture, and the behavior of your interviewer. Steve Urban advocates for a balanced approach, where making a positive impression and engaging in the conversation take precedence over the dining aspects of the interview. Remember, every interaction in a job interview, including a dinner setting, is an opportunity to showcase your professionalism and alignment with the company's values.
