1. Come armed with questions to show that you are interested and engaged.
2. If the interviewer offers you a cup of coffee, decline it.
3. The only appropriate cell phone mode is off.

In essence, I agree with the speaker in this piece; however, there are two problems with it: (1) what questions need to be asked? She doesn’t say; and (2) etiquette suggests that you accept a cup of coffee or soda so the host can feel his/her gesture is accepted as, say, an ice-breaker. Spilling a cup of coffee, I would also suggest, would be the exception rather than the rule.
