The Interview: It's Not About You

Spend all your time in the interview focusing on the other person.  Find out what they like.  If they like boating, then you love boating.  Talk about them, not yourself.  You can only get in trouble talking about yourself.  When they ask you what are you strengths of weaknesses, ask them “What are your strengths and weaknesses, so I can better I understand mine”.  When they ask you yours: Deny Deny Deny.  You have no weaknesses.  Why would a company want to hire someone with a weakness.  In fact, be insulted at the suggestion that you have any weaknesses.
