There are two types of interviewers/interviews:

>>The HR Roastie (85%)
>Knows almost nothing of what she's hiring for
Anything beyond superficial information that you can overhear when you're having coffee for the fifth time in a workday, or by a quick googling, is beyond her. Impressing with "skill" is not going to change much.
>Works for a third party company
If the hiring process is handled by anyone but where you're applying for a job for, it's 98% guaranteed to be a HR Roastie on loan from a recruitment firm. Leads into the next characteristic.
>Only there to make a career
She's only there because she wants it on her resumé. Not to hire the right person or because she gives a shit about you, the company she's hiring for or really anything but her own list of titles on linkedin (where you should add her and anyone else in HR you pressed flesh with once, by the way, however brief).
>Loves canned questions, loathes meaningful interaction
List three positive qualities (without any context given of course), list three negative qualities, how are you in a group, how are you solo (pro-tip: you better be good at and "love" both), other checklist "questions"/gotcha-bullshit. These are the kind of questions you can prepare answers for in advance if you must.

DON'T:
>Don't be truthful
Ever been truthful with a woman that you thought cared about you? Yeah, this one didn't "love" you in the first place.
>Don't play into shit-tests and female charm
A typical canned question is your cue to spout any pandering bullshit lie you like. If it sounds good, it is good. If she looks nice, she'll assume that this gives her an advantage. Don't let it.

WEAKNESS:
>Passing shit-tests and personal connection
Imagine that you're gossipping with a really good female friend (but keep it "professional"). Yeah, it's on that level. Anything to get on her good side, and she'll get on yours. Hopefully. If she doesn't like you personally, you're fucked.
