Answer 1

To impress the interviewer, never refer to going to the bathroom as "taking a dump."

Answer 2

There are some important hidden agendas that you should be aware of:

1) Be careful in filling out the job application, cover letter, resume especially regarding the size of your handwriting, since bold and large strokes are considered signs of someone's vanity and that you are not really a "team player" because of your own attitude of going your own way. Often many employers use graphology [handwriting analysis] as a means to sort out potential candidates, noting that Peuguot, the French car makers uses graphology exclusively as the sole means to screen potential employees. So, be careful in how you fill-out a job application.

2) Note your posture during the interview; try to avoid the shaking or twitching leg syndrome when you are seated and of course, do not chew any gum.

3) Avoid looking away from the interviewer when asked a question. Respond honestly to a question, even if you say, "I don't know the answer." But make sure that you look the interviewer in the "eye" as you give your response - this eye-to-eye contact is an indication of your truthfulness.

4) Even though you may feel pressured or nervous during the interview, speak clearly and slowly so that your words can be understood. Make a conscientious effort to lower the tone of your voice, so that you sound more mature and not so squeeky.

Good luck!
