    When they introduce themselves, say 'nice to meet you again'. Then drop the hand.

    Nah, that was just the receptionist you handed your CV into.

    By any chance is the job "marketing related"? in the current climate it seems a little weird that you'd get a callback after just 11 hours if your skillset isn't in demand... if the name of the company is something snazzy like Gallop Marketing (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin//showthread.php?p=55421038) or Majestic Marketing then give the interview a miss...

    If not best of luck and make sure to keep eye contact - that's the most important part of going down :D

    Be confident, assert yourself! Tell them you will only work between the hours of 10 to 3 and you want a 2 hour lunch break, 3 months holidays p.a. and a starting salary of 100k minimum. They will be so impressed with you they will probably offer you a directorship and shares!*










    *May not work and could cost you the job!

    Do you actually wonder why its the first interview you've had in 5 months?

    I think your 'couldn't be arsed about the job either way' attitude could probably swing it.

    That's just sexist.
    The interviewer could be a woman, maybe the OPs applying to be a Nun
    or a hairdresser.
