Sometimes we forget our manners, it happens to the best of us -but your graduation dinner is not the time to falter. That’s why The Grad Mag is giving you the dot to dot in finishing your graduation meal in sheer style.
Dating back to when I was shipped off to my first children’s’ Birthday party I can still remember my Mum’s words to me before I left, the same words that come back to me at most social events – “don’t forget your manners.” And we mustn’t!
As we get older the party dress turns to a glamorous ball gown, the food becomes much tastier and the cutlery range more extensive. Who’d have believed we would evolve into our adult lives needing nine items of cutlery to finish just one meal – rather than the perfectly designed plastic spoon we enjoyed as kids?

Interview Tips…

Interviews… The very word can strike fear in some. So luckily for you, we are here to help you through, step by step.
Research the company
There is absolutely no point going to an interview if you know nothing about the company in which you have applied to. Turning up at Burger King and asking for a Mc Flurry is hardly going to impress, so why would your future boss be?
Having been asked to an interview must mean you impressed on your initial application, so return to what you know and the research you conducted before applying for the position. Exactly what does the company do, produce (if anything) and who is their primary target audience?
Looking at recent clients or projects can help identify key trends in the organisation and give you an insight into what they are looking for or hoping to achieve in the future.
