    Humility.

    Practice it before spouting off some of the statements in the list above like 3 and 7. And especially 12 and 17! These statements are making the assumption that they actually like you and the hiring session is going well.

    If you need to express #12, #17, #19 or #20, make sure you are reading the hiring manager accurately, and say those things in a way that’s not going to backfire.

    What’s your answer going to be if they tell you “NO” right then and there? Will you continue your forward ways, or are you suddenly going to become a kitten?

    Overly aggressive candidates who have no solid reason to be confident of their prospects are only going to provide plenty of chuckles and laughs around the water cooler after the interview is over.

    Arrogance usually does not translate into a being a good team player. Unless this is a sales position, or job that values aggressiveness, being overly forward may not be a quality that fits in with the company’s culture.
