I've got one on Tuesday that looks like my best shot at a new job since I got laid off in the summer. It's with a vice president of the company and the person whose position I'm filling since she got promoted

I'm just a little weirdo, I don't know how to make them want to hire me boohoo

Be prepared to answer/create stories on the spot about experiences at work. Common questions in interviews are "Tell me about a time you [did something that shows how you react to various work situations]"

Things of note:

  1. Keep the anecdotes snappy and to the point, try not to start drifting or rambling.

  2. Don't use anecdotes where you don't look good by the end of the anecdote... which is what can happen when 1) starts to happen. ( I might have had an interview where I got a bit too relaxed with the interviewer and I might have done this once.)
