Man: In the company, I am in charge of recruitment; I have to meet various people. Some of them impressed me most at least the few days after we had the interview, because they are effective conversationalists. During the course of talk, half the responsibility lies with you. Leaving an interviewer indifferent is the worst impression you can make. And the way to make an effective impression is to feel free to be yourself.

Woman: In most cases, interviewers and interviewees will make full preparations before interviewing. To both, the interview seems like a challenge between two minds or intelligences. Psychologically it is advisable. I find nobody controls an interview--neither you nor the interviewer--although one or both parties often try. Otherwise it becomes a phony exchange between two human beings; no business is likely to be transacted. Remember, compulsive behavior turns off your authenticity.
