Remember, when you interview for a job, you are "on" from the time you drive into the parking lot, enter the building and find the office.
Be yourself.
But, remember, you're being interviewed even if you aren't sitting at a table.
One thing I've done with potential hires - invite them to have lunch with the managers with whom they will be working. It's an opportunity for co-workers to evaluate the person and see them in a more relaxed situation.
So, the young man was going to lunch with 5 managers. As soon as they got in the van, he began lamenting his personal life. Apparently, he had a LOT of problems.
When they returned from lunch, they all concurred - don't hire. He's too needy.
So, although his formal interview went quite well, he didn't get the job.
