Just make sure you know all the unwritten rules about interviews. Skills pertaining to the position at hand are optional, and potentially a negative should you start rambling about the actual job at hand instead of projecting how confident you are at all times.

Even knowing just the basics of brazilian jiu jitsu can give you a real edge during the interview.

It's an important interview because it's worth 4000 kronor extra to me in salary, which is like, several pizzas and kebabs more/month :catstare:

I really hope I get it

Do what all the people I interview do and claim to be CEO or VP of some 3 man operation.

A firm handshake, a bright smile, make frequent eye contact, but make sure to convey a sense of comfort and ease at being there.

Make sure you swallow.

This is actually extremely true.

I have a six fig interview tomorrow and I plan on saying something like "Before we get started, I'd just like to give you an overview of what my previous position entailed." and then I will proceed to filibuster for thirty/sixy minutes. Just got a job offer contingent on a background check last week doing the same thing.

Or something. I don't know. I don't really think about these things too hard.

Contrary to everyone elses opinion on the planet, I love job interviews. I get to go meet a bunch of weirdos and spew words at them.

Pre-interview drug checklist:

- 30mg Adderall for faux enthusiasm.
- 1mg Xanax to tone it down a little.
- One toke of weed to tone it down a little more.
- One large coffee to tone it back up.
- 5mg Percocet because, well, Percocet is awesome.
- One dose of being born white and a man.

Edit:

Oh yeah, almost forgot

- A cup of clean urine for the inevitable drug test.

I always do like Christian Bale in Hard Times and stick a thumb tack in my butt cheek or whatever, I don't really remember the plot, just Bale being like "Orale, putos!"

Research which stupid frat/sorority your interviewer was in like lambda lambda lambda or whatever, and lie that you were in it too.

if you're in the UK like me, just talk about a popular local pub/curry joint near the uni campus where the interviewer graduated.

Also talk about how many of those Kappa sluts you nerf-dogged while hanging wicked chads all over campus

I don't know if that means anything, but it'll work, trust me
