"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.:)
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

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 Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

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.
