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.
"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.

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.

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
