are women more critical than men in job interview? I had job interview recently which a woman asked me lots of questions compare to the guy. I wonder if gender affects the outcome of interview.
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"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.

I just had two interviews from the same company (and got the job 
). The first woman was very critical and I really had to step it up a notch with her. The second woman was very laid back.
Gender probably has a very small role in interview styles, overshadowed by individual differences.

I was nervous on job interview. I think I screw it up near the end.

Women are emotional, not logical. If there is attraction, you can get away with anything. Looking back on my sales jobs, almost all of my sales were to women. When I do pretend court stuff at law school, I seem to be able to sell the women evaluators any crazy argument. Creating attraction with a woman is like when a woman flashes us her cleavage; both make the other gender instantly stupid. I love it. Attraction is the taking away of a woman's power and using those same forces against her. And the good part for us guys is that regardless of our physical looks, we can proactively create many of the qualities to which women are attracted, such as dressing well, eye contact, smiling, and most importantly, confidence, which will become greater with time as you begin to realize that you have instant power over 53% of the world's people.

Then you meet a fat, middle aged woman who knows you're hot stuff and that she will never EVER be able to have you. It will make her feel better about herself if she can 'reject' you first. Instant enemy really, being attractive can be a two-edged sword.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
