Default Re: Job Interviews: Selling Yourself

I'll give you some tips.

1. Wear plenty of cologne or perfume. If you smell luuuuvly, you're more likely to get somewhere.
2. Wink at your interviewer every now and then. It helps build up a rapport.
3. Slide them a piece of folder paper across the desk, with your number for "frendship purposs".
4. Always prepare some exotic snacks, like channeh daal, murgh malai, vegetable samosas, or something like that, and pass them out at the end of the interview.
5. Slip in phrases like "You gottit, boss", "I can have those figures for you by Monday", "Pinky forgot to replace the printer ink" and other such phrases. The interviewer will subconsciously think you already work there and therefore warm to you even more.
