I go into an interview with the attitude "Why would I want to work here?" I have valuable, marketable skills and so I not only mirror my interviewer, but I also push them a bit to find out what makes this such a great place to work. Interviewers can sense confidence, and if you walk in with your hat in your hand and an attitude of deference, I think it hurts your chances more than it helps. If you've got good skills, make THEM impress you, not the other way around. I've never felt the need to prove myself excessively to an employer, as I generally receive several job offers within a short timeframe. It's a potential business arrangement, and you should realize that you are on equal footing with the potential employer. I once had an interviewer drill me mercilessly, making unreasonable requests and trying to test my technical skills on subjects that are difficult to demonstrate, and even having the gall to question me about their proprietary internal products! After about 10 minutes of grilling I stood up, shook his hand and said, "I'm sorry, this isn't the opportunity I'm seeking. Thanks for your time." The interviewer backpedalled rapidly, apologizing profusely, but I just nodded, repeated myself, and left. Do this once in your life..it'll boost you up tremendously!

It all depends on who you're talking to. If someone wants me to kiss their butt for a sale then they can kiss mine. That's not me and I don't associate myself with people like that. I would rather lose the sale and move to the next person. Because the needy customer will always cost you more in the long-run. I don’t really think there are rules.

BE NICE TO EVERYONE YOU MEET IN THE ORGANIZATION! I worked as a front desk receptionist for a construction company for a while. They decided to do some hiring. They handed me a stack of blank applications and told me to give one to everyone who came in to apply. The potential employees filled them out while waiting in the lobby then gave them back to me. I was supposed to write my first impression of them in the upper corner before setting them up for the interview. I was supposed to also say whether I would be comfortable if this person came into my home to do some work. I gave a good review to most of the people, but there were a couple of guys who were extremely rude. They were upset because they were not going to be interviewed that same day and thought that by being rude they would get their way. Little did they know it probably cost them their chance at the job. You never know who has a say in whether you get hired or not. I’d like to add one important point.

Sadly, fashion has become a much-neglected area in the life of the modern man. Though it is often viewed as a “softer” topic these days, this has not always been the case. Dapper attire was once thought as important as proper grooming or a firm handshake. An over-sized Perry Ellis dress shirt billowing out the top of a pair of pleated khakis purchased from Nordstrom Rack just wouldn't cut it. The way a man dresses and carries himself reflects a strong self-perception and high level of confidence. It is essential to making a strong first impression.

I liked the last tip about asking the interviewer personal questions that relate to the company. I will definitely be using that one. All good tips, although they are common to other sites.
