Some good advice has definitely been offered. One thing I notice when meeting a candidate for the first time is the handshake.
Nothing worse than a limp or clammy handshake. I lose immediate interest if the initial handshake is weak. Besides that, I think you've got your bases covered.
Best of Regards!

That is why you ask questions silly. The magic can be dispelled rather quickly. I want to give every person through my door an opportunity to shine. However, spending half the interview attempting to get a coherent answer out of a candidate takes much more time than the guy trying to put his foot into the 'ol piehole.
In interview, I want to hear what the other guy has to say. I don't want to spend an hour trying to decipher body language before letting a potentially good candidate go to another company or competitor.

he's applying for his very first job fresh out of UW MBA so whether or not this is for CEO or analyst, he's likely ahead of your game even if you bought your yellow s2000 for msrp.
so just like the S2K BS i so entertain myself trying to weed out in these forums i ask what have you done in the corporate space to be giving him advice if you haven't done anything but read interview books? who the hell reads interview skills books in the first place?
and about the six figs comments and whether or not i can afford the porsche or yugo... you're ugly so why are you bringing more attention to yourself by buying a $30K+ convertible let alone one in yellow? that makes me say: 1) i think that puts you in a class none of us want to be in; and 2) you need to get out of arby's regardless of how much they're paying u.
once u play in the six figs, six-figs ain't sh!t. it's how deep into the sixes you at and even more important ... how those penny pinching sixes are working 24/7 to get u playing in the sevens GGG G-unit!!!
wait, how did this discussion get to be about me?
and about my earning power? wow sweet. so since i drive an s2000 and don't have a porsche... but yet we still have no clue about what spa4eva has done in his past...
