CAP 4: Etiquette and Dining

Yes! believe me or not, this was one session which I wanted to attend since years and finally got a real session.
It covered everything from hand-shaking technique, table-manners to dining etiquettes.
The speaker, Susan Snider of Etiquette for Success (http://www.etiquetteforsuccess.com/) answered each participant's questions with the same enthusiasm as they asked the questions.
The session was with an objective of OCR information session dining sessions in mind...as a prep for the upcoming OCR season.

The CAP sessions are conducted at various intervals with these objectives in mind.

There was a session on interviews, cover-letters, customized resumes for companies, case interview prep session.
