The Awkward Dinner Guide

"Suitable For: A Meeting With Your Friend's Sister Who Wants "Career Advice" Your friend's 23-year-old sister Jessica graduated from Emory last year, and is already looking to change careers. Consulting just isn't that fulfilling, you know? As resident person-with-a-job-that-sounds-interesting, you've been called upon to offer up some direction. You feel a little flattered that people look up to you, but you also don't want to make this last too long. You want to keep this meal short and sweet and fairly affordable, and you can do that at Jack's Wife Freda. Plus, Jessica's probably been really wanting to come here anyway." - hillary reinsberg
