<p>my Swat interview's next week.....at a Ruby Tuesday's. It's my first college interview, and I know it's probably a stupid question, but...what am I expected to order/eat? it's at 2, so that's basically lunchtime...should I be expecting to get lunch? just a drink? do I need to pay? I'm feeling good about the interview, except for this part, lol. anyone have any answers for me?</p>
<p>Since it's at 2, I don't think anything more than a drink will be appropriate. However, you could send the interviewer an email asking innocently how much money you should bring. Maybe pay for the interviewer's coffee or drink. If they order a full entree, I don't think it's unreasonable for you to not pay.</p>
<p>I think 2 is after lunch -- if your interviewer meant to have lunch with you, s/he would have made the appointment for earlier (not after 1PM). You should probably expect to have a cup of coffee, or a soft drink. Remember also that you are supposed to talk, and eating would get in the way.</p>
<p>I disagree with fhimas88888888 about emailing the person and asking how much money you should bring. That's totally inappropriate! Very awkward and childish. </p>
<p>So basically expect to order some kind of a soft drink and offer to pay. Your interviewer will most probably won't let you. S/he will either pay for both of you or everyone pays for themselves.</p>
<p>Interviewers are used to such situations and your interviewer will do everything possible not to make you feel uneasy. It will all happen very naturally. </p>
<p>The most important thing is to relax and be yourself.</p>
