"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

What are some of these skills?

IMO, I think one can do the following:

smile
eye contact
confident posture
kino? (though I think this can possibly be a bad idea)
conversational techinques?

If you can think of anything else, please share it with us. I have three interviews next ween and am really trying to perpare for it.:)
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Had an interview last week, it was a 4 on 1

The most important thing I did was to own the frame.

Also, relax, be confident, eye contact, proper tonality and body language.

And, create rapport with the interviewer(s)

I asked the interviewers/managers about how/why they came to this company, what they like about it, how long they have been here, etc...

I swear by this. Interviewers know almost immediately if they are going to hire you or not.

I pretty much hate interviews. During one interview by (Infinity Broadcasting), i was asked several illegal questions. I contacted my local labor law board and they told me the questions were lega.--i'm in law school now and they were ILLEGAL!
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

What would be some real-life examples of illegal interview questions?

CAn you please tell me more about establishing a rapport? What about creating a good impression?

I know the key is to have a enjoyable conversation, but that might be hard to do when you have so much pressure during the interview.
