So, you think you know how to ace that job interview... but do you really?

Interviewing for a job is pretty intimidating, no matter how experienced you are. Even if you've been a winner in your field for decades, you still have to present yourself in your best light, and hope that you can convince the job interviewer that you're the right candidate for the job.

A lot of people overthink their job interview questions and answers, and their answers end up sounding too rehearsed. Or, they know the answers to the questions, but they panic and forget everything they've ever known about their chosen career field.

Strangely, though, a lot of people seem to think that being a little impolite to the hiring manager is the way to go, and I just have no idea why they're under that impression. "Negging," or pointing out negatives in a person in the hopes they'll try to impress you, might work in the dating world, maybe, possibly. But when you're doing a job interview? That is not the time to try and get the hiring manager to desire you more by being a smart alec. Like one person approached their job interview by interviewing the company, which you are supposed to do. It's supposed to be a 2-way street: they should also be trying to (lightly) convince you to work for them by telling you about great benefits, competitive salaries, and a strong managerial presence or great team of people to work with. But if you come in and start demanding that they tell you why they're a better fit than the other jobs you're talking to right now, they're certainly going to pass on hiring you. People just want to work with someone competent and nice to work with 40 hours per week. It really doesn't have to be more complicated than that!
