Etiquette dinner offers tips for students
CARBONDALE, Ill. – Making a good first impression is important for Southern Illinois University Carbondale students as they participate in job interviews and other functions. The Spring 2007 Professional Etiquette Dinner from 5 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 25, offers a unique learning opportunity.
University Housing is sponsoring the event, which will take place in Trueblood Hall's Eastmore Room.
The evening features a five-course meal prepared by University Housing chefs, served up with practical tips on personal marketing, building a credible wardrobe, table manners and interview tips.
