Hospitality Suite Best Practices Forum

[pottedplants]

Hi TLS!

Any advice for using hospitality suites to their maximum potential? Am I right they're a place to:

~ Stop by if you are interviewing with the firm to reaffirm interest by eating their free food.

Do you just stop by, shovel some crabcakes into mouth and make sure they record your presence?

~ Stop by if you aren't interviewing with the firm to try and snake a screener?

Best practice for this? Hand off resume and say ID JUST LOOOOVE TO TALK TO YOU MORE.

Any advice on how to make these less awkward? Anyone have opening lines to use on the recruiters? Should I wear a fedora and amulet while doing card tricks as recommended in most pick-up artist literature?

Who usually staffs the suites? Recruiting staff? The interviewing attorneys?

Thanks!

Crabcakes? Damn, they must do it big at HYS or something. My school just had croissants and danishes and other crap.

I usually start off with the blatant confession that I'm primarily there to grab some free shit. This always gets a chuckle and breaks the ice. Once mission objective 1 is accomplished, I spin around with my mouth full of danish, etc., and start yapping about the typical shit to whoever is closest to me.

Me: "So, (nom nom nom) what office are you from?"

Recruiter: "Blah blah blah.. office I'm interested in... are you interviewing with us?"

Me: "No... I bid you guys but apparently you are popular."

Recruiter: "Oh, well I'll be happy to take your materials now if you like (/email us). We are looking for dapper young bucks who talk with their mouth full like you."

Me: "Great, (nom nom nom).. here ya go."

I then immediately leave and grab whatever decent looking shwag I see on my way out. 0% success rate so far, FTW.

Edit: I'd go with the fedora + amulet + magic routine actually. I bet it would kill in your screeners too.

definitely don't ask to use the restroom in the suite. had this problem when i discovered the public restrooms were locked. wasted a whole 20 min interview on the crapper while my interviewer sat on the couch
