I have social anxiety and while I function well in most social situations, job interviews are still pretty much pure torture to me. It doesn't matter how much I practice answers or whether I have good stories, I turn into a human disaster when I interview. Other than If you're good at what you do, own it. Go in thinking you're the best there is on the market. Don't sweat what they haven't even asked yet and just roll with the punches (if there are any). Don't look at it as whether the interviewer likes you... it's about whether you like them. It should never be the other way around. You're there to evaluate them. If they open a door for you, you have the option to take it. How would you act if you were there to have a discussion with someone you might want to sacrifice 8+ hours of your life per day? I would act like the company has something to prove to me. That makes me much more comfortable in interviews - and so far my track record is somewhere at around a 95% success rate (of about 20 interviews). Of course, this is also assuming you did some screening before you went in.

ChairMaster posted:So I need a couple good lies for the questions "What's your worst quality?" and "What's the deal with the long gap in your employment history?" For the "worst quality" question, I typically say I trust people too much. To "solve" this, I always ensure I take an extra effort follow up with folks so we can hold each other accountable. The reason is to stay mindful that other people are busy (and forgetful as poo poo) and we often do not have the same priorities.
