Most Important Job Interview Tips - Things to remember (before, after, and during the interview.

This is a tricky question that can force you to think on your feet if you aren't prepared.

- Be passionate about the company. This is so important. Resist the urge to be aloof and cool.
- Be interested in the interviewer. 
- Be positive.
- Be honest. (I've often asked candidates for BD: "I noticed you were CEO of [blank], but did you actually do deals?" "Yes, definitely." "So you drove the deal and signed if?" "Yes." "What's an indemnity?" "[stunned silence]"
- Relax and have fun.
- Be thankful for people's time.

- Write thank you notes. I know, I hate those too. Most people don't care, but 1/10 is offended. Not worth it, just write it. That night or <23 hours.
- Remember that all you can do is give it 100%. If you try as hard as you can and still don't get the offer, that's life.
