2. Dress Smartly
   Wear something neat and comfortable that reflects your personality.

3. Be on Time
   Punctuality shows respect for the other person’s time.

4. Keep It Light
   Talk about interests, family, and career goals. Avoid overly personal or heavy topics initially.

5. Respect Differences
   You may not agree on everything — and that’s okay. Keep the conversation polite and open.
