Be ready to meet people who are not part of your formal agenda. Don't forget your table manners. When ordering food at a restaurant, follow the lead of the employer host. For example, don't order the three-pound lobster if everyone else is having a more moderately priced entree. Order food that is easy to handle.
Many employers have a set salary range for entry-level positions and others are more negotiable.
Though salary should not be brought up until an offer is extended, it is wise to know your worth in advance. Check the COC web page or contact the COC for national salary averages in your field. Soon after the site visit, record your impressions of your performance. Review the business cards of those you met or write the information in your notebook before leaving the facility. You should have the names, titles, addresses and phone numbers of everyone who was involved in your interview so you can determine which individuals you may want to contact with additional questions or follow-up information.
