i think you can wear the same suit w/ a different shirt. The lunch process depends on who you go to lunch with. If you go with both interviewer and other intervivewees, that's a little tricky. Just order easy to handle,  in-the-middle priced food, and get yourself into the conversation. If you are not aggressive, that's fine. But don't be too shy. Good luck! 

I think lunch interviews (even with other candidates) are very common, just behave yourself and be confident!

I feel sometimes lunch interview are more important, cause they can identify from the casual lunch if you're a person they want to work with on a daily basis. Behave yourself. Don't be nervous. Pick up the topics they like and try to find out if you have sth. in common with the mangers or interviewers.

You can definitely wear the same suit. I believe Cafeine mm also talked about this on this board. Yes, sure, a different shirt would be great. But you can also buy a suit, sooner or later in your work, you probably will need it anyway.

Good luck!

Thanks to all friends above.

Yesterday I had interview in lunch. I waited at the gate with name card for someone to pick me up. So I saw another 2 candidates. (as HOD 's joke, i am in top5 list since i am in 2'nd time interview) I can choose language between english/german. I picked up english (I hope it didnt suck) HOD asked me some questions like : talk something about yourself. why should i enroll you, please convince me little bit. then asked me something about my work permit, parttime job and hobby lectures. and asked also like are you free to begin anytime... he spoke very quick english , but clear tone. So i have no problem to understand. But i try to speak also fluently without noticing/caring too much about my grammatic.....

well, only short 30 mins, then the head of office brought me to lunch.(This one is serious person i've heard and man can see that )Lucky thing is only she and me. I cant see there is something to exam. ...So i saw menu of day and thought to pick up something easy to eat: chicken nugets and potato chips just like Mc's food. and during lunch, of course, she didnt stop asking questions , like hobby, sports, where do i live, my plan, etc. Of course sometimes i also ask her the same question, so she can talk, i can continue eating. hehe... but she still eat quiet quick. So i try to speed up...:( chicken nuggets are so dry!!

and afterwards she suggested a coffee/tea. And i took a cappiccino coffee, while she took an espresso...definitly she finished drink much earlier than me!! ( i think i am already shows my "slowness"..).And i thank her for the food and coffee and end the conversation. Then i went to pick up my stuffs/bags and was sent to stairs by her. huh？finished...

I think the lunch is quiet relax. At least you can think and answer, no need to hurry. Also because you are eating, so actually you can take this chance to think and "delay"...:) And questions in lunch also will be "relax", like hobby or family stuffs. Of course you can make joke , make a relax atmosphere. But dont laugh with food on table! of course, i learned how to use fork , knife ahead and remember all details. Dont raise plate to your mouth...etc.

about dress, thank you for all tipps. I dress the same suit : black top and gray pants, black shoes. But i spend 11Euro bought a new female shirt in supermarket , a dark purple color like grapescolor. :) forturnately they are match .

I was thinking a whole interview process while i was on the way back. I found that this time i didnt emphasis how important this job for me is. I even told them my weakness(no workexperience compare with other candidates) even he didnt ask about weakness. (well, just obviously and to be honest) I dont know is this mistake. Well, but i made some jokes, HOD also laughed. And i prepared some questions and good answers last night, but actually i forgot in office. and... i dont know whether they will take me or not.  No matter what result, i think i am still satisfied because i have never had a 2nd run interview in a big co. So far it's my biggest sucess! :)

They will decide and give answer middle next week. And the job starts from Oct.  I will tell you if i get this job.

Thanks again to all friendly people here! :)

ps. during lunch when the atmosphere is not so serious. I asked the Head office some questions like:

1. how many people in her group and what they responsbile for.

2. how long takes a person to get note "good" in this position.(from 0 to good)

3. what you like best in your group?

4. what this co. in china produce?...(just for more topics, maybe too far from my life.hehe)

just try to let her market her group or get to know more about this team... also shows i care about this job. (at beginning with HOD i didnt mention a lot about this position. so now i made up this blank).
