It is also customary for arbitration candidate popularity often ask what is known as \u2018the beer question\u2019: with which candidate would you rather have a beer? The answer is regarded as a barometer of likeability, authenticity and collegiality. As such, the beer question continues to be posed in the hiring context.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

It is also customary for arbitration weeks to begin with a kick\u2010off cocktail reception.<\/p><\/section>
