Reviews

"I'm a professor at a community college and the advisor to the college's Accounting Club. every year for the last eight years the club has asked Jerry Gleason to conduct an "Etiquette Dinner." Students come to the dinner and learn how to network at a cocktail hour or reception. They then learn how to conduct themselves at a business meal. At the end of the meal students receive a copy of Jerry's book, The Do's and Don'ts of Business Meals. This is an invaluable experience for our students, for whom a business lunch or dinner is often part of the interviewing process. Jerry's book contains just about anything you need to know about attending a networking event or business meal. The book consists of helpful bullet points gathered together under specific topics. It's easy to read and the writing is to the point. There's no space wasted on jokes or long stories (unlike some other self-help books). This is a book intended for people entering the job market who want to interview well and conduct themselves professionally at any business function.""This book is easy to read cover-to-cover or, as a resource when searchng for a particular topic related to etiquette in business meals. I highly recommend it."
