I've gotten most of the jobs I've interviewed for and I still goofed a couple of these up. I really like the focus on why THEY should hire you. When I've been on the interviewing side, I also found it very telling when candidates had no questions, or even very superficial ones. Excellent article.

I was the guy with the beanie in the pic. I've fallen foul of all these rules at some point. Like to think I've learned from my hard-knocks school. I've still trouble asking for more.
