Superday Rejection - Tips?

Here’s some thoughts as I’ve been a superday interviewer myself many times and also have heard feedback from EDs and VPs as they reject countless and accept a few superday candidates. 

• You walk into a superday with an offer and it’s yours to lose; if you’re not getting offers you’re definitely doing something wrong because those people need someone and they want to hire you and they’re not spending a whole day talking to your boring basic generic ass for their health 
• Each of your interviewers decide usually very quickly into the convo if they want to hire you, usually 5 mins; the other 25 mins almost never change the initial impression; by the time you get out of the building the group knows their answer
• You need to be likable; if you don’t come across likable you’ll never get an offer; that’s partially luck vibing with your interviewers but also don’t be a unlikeable prick; if an interviewer wants to shoot the breeze for 30 mins then don’t turn the convo to your GPA; if an interviewer wants to grill you on deals don’t turn the convo to your golf weekend
• Side note: I’m not proud but sometimes if a candidate and I have a common interest, I’ll literally shoot the breeze for 29 minutes ask 1 canned question at the end; I’ve got enough boring bullshit in my day so a 30 minute entertaining convo gets a sign off from me 
• Don’t talk too much or ramble; give short crisp direct answers and invite more questions explicitly or implicitly; don’t be afraid to pause or tie things up every 30 to 60 seconds; if you talk 5 minutes and the interviewer stopped listening and started getting bored at 20 seconds you’re done; ramblers and talkers are 90% of the time silly and 100% of the time unlikeable 
• Don’t be overconfident; you have nothing until you have written offer; there’s 700 others guys more or less the same as you applying for the job; overconfident people are usually silly because they aren’t smart enough to know they can’t act like they’re all that in an interview, and they’re always unlikeable 
• Also there’s a strong correlation between how impressive a candidate is and how much humility they conduct themselves with; the sharpest and most likable people don’t make a big deal about it
• Don’t be a liar; don’t just say things that are obviously false the moment someone asks one or two layers deeper; liars are silly and unlikeable; there’s a fine line between stretching the truth and being wholly consistent and backing it up, and blatantly being a liar and bulshitter that can’t be consistent
• Nobody cares about your resume anymore by the superday; so keep the canned bullshit short and focus on knocking the actual questions people ask you out the ball park; you went to and did your finance club and your frat was sick and your stock is up 1000%, yeah cool bro we all get it, let’s talk about something interesting now 
• Don’t be unlikable and silly; be likable and sharp
  
  Replaced all with silly to keep post clean.
