Make The Interview A Conversation Not An Interrogation
*By making a connection with the hiring manager, you will set yourself apart from other applicants.
*Look around the lobby or the office and if you see anything you have in common, bring it up.
*Make sure you know what you are talking about. Bringing up basketball because you see pictures of the hiring manager playing, that doesn't mean to lie and say that you play if you don't. Avoid lying about things you could potentially be embarrassed over in the future.
*Noticing both of you have young children close in age is enough to feel that common ground.
