How do you take control of a job interview? What do you do?

This is a Delicate thing because it's equal parts being an arrogant asshole, punching over your weight class, and pretending for a moment that the Tables are turned and you're wondering what's so great about their company that you should work for Them.

The headspace is crucial. We're all conditioned to be Submissive in these situations. I flip it and go Dominant.

Interview not going well? Ask Them why You should want to work for Them.

Whoa, this is brilliant. Thanks for sharing this, I'll have to try this next time!

@Motodrachen

Good point, for certain. Nothing about the job interview headspace in general is something I'd want to get into under other circumstances, anyway, since job interviews are a creepy game for those very reasons.
