5. tell them want they want to hear
and smile a lot when you talk. muster up the internal faculties to bring an expansive soul with you. let them feel your energy.

under no condition, never, never, never, volunteer information. the less you say (and this is true practically in every social situation) they better off you are.

take the heat off yourself by concentrating more or less on the interviewer - maintain continuous eye contact, cock your head sideways to feign interest in what he or she is saying, and LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN. they drop cues like pigeons drop turds and you will not notice them if you sit there thinking about what you want to say next.

actually, the more i get from someone else, the less i have to think about what i want to say and i can custom tailor a message the other person wants to hear or needs to hear so i can get the job.
