The person that gets the job will be the person that the employer feels will work well with their team. During the interview look for shared experience and common backgrounds. You may decide not to accept the offer, but you have to receive the offer before you can make that decision. Once you feel that an offer is being considered your second objective is to raise your perceived value to the employer to increase the compensation package that may be forthcoming. Leave your ego at the door when you go to be interviewed - first and foremost get the job offer.
Experience shows that most people talk about themselves in negative or self-deprecating terms.
There is a fine line between enthusiasm and desperation. Employers want to know that if a fair and competitive offer is extended, you will accept. Remember, quiet enthusiasm radiates eagerness to become part of the team. Preparing for the interview is as important as the interview itself. Both men and women should wear conservative business clothing and accessories.
