First - you need to have a lot of money. This will let you purchase nice tailor-fit clothes, a good haircut, and provides a confident posture. You don't really need this job, you just want to push yourself and you think this conglomerate has the right stuff.

Second - A firm handshake. Nothing says "I know my business" like a tight squeeze around another man's wrist.

Third - ?

Gif makes a good point. Wearing socks are pretty important unless you are interviewing at a surf shop (the chill atmosphere there may call for flip flops!)

Not convinced about the sprinkles.

Try casually sharpening an array of knives during your interview. If you're interviewing to be a chef they'll know you mean business. If you're interviewing for any other kind of job they'll know you really mean business.

good "point" on gaining a competitive "edge" you sure are "sharp."

Be prepared to ask for a raise before you even get the job.

Something along the lines of:

"Listen, we all know my value around here is worth well more than what I am currently being paid. I think a 10% raise with a $4000 bonus is perfectly reasonable, under the circumstances."

This will show your potential employee that you won't be pushed around like so many of the white collar peons at XYZ Enterprises, and he will have to take you seriously.

the greatest power play is to Play With Power. bring an NES and a 2L of cherry soda and friend, you've turned a dull interruption of someone's workday into a party

Also, let your interviewer get first dibs on Mario. But - if he goes for Lugio, you better bail out as that's a red flag that the business is lazy and complacent.

Criticize their business model before even sitting down.

In fact - don't sit down at all.

Lay into their entire methodology and explain how you would change it; thereby showing your invaluable quality.

A quick "GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF" smack across the face will also establish alpha-personality traits.

interviewer walks in. you stand up. "d-dad? it's me... it's ya boi..." you have a touching reunion. the man who thinks you're his progeny passes the company on to you, which you tank immediately. another facet of capitalism destroyed.

Bust out the bottle of sherry, start a Barry Manilow record, and light a log fire in the corner. Then - start rubbing your prospective employer's shoulders.
