- Desperation is not attractive.
- Give the impression that you're choosy.
- Make your interest personal, not generic.
- Use flattery.
- Remember to ask if you like them, not just if they like you.
- Don't badmouth your exes.
- Keep your ego in check.
I totally agree – there are a couple others I’d like to point out:
If you want to see them again – follow up. The value of a well written and prompt thank you note will go far in landing a second interview or an offer
If it isn’t going to work out – don’t leave them hanging. Honest and upfront feedback from the interviewer will save the candidate many a sleepless night waiting by the phone
Appearances do matter – look and act professional in your interview and ALWAYS be on time.
(and just because I love this story) Be wary of making “the first move” – remember hugging the HR Director is not a good idea. But in all seriousness, be aware of the culture you're interviewing in; are they conservative or laid back? Respond accordingly.
