1/3 One way to get the upper hand in a job interview is to subtly criticize THEIR process & leverage their FOMO of missing out on an amazing candidate.
Be friendly, be enthusiastic, but don’t be needy.
Keep that in mind next time you think about supplicating to them for a job.

2/3 If you feel they are getting the upper hand, try this:
“I see. Well to be transparent here I’m also interviewing at [competitor 1&2] and I’ve never seen that done before. Is there a reason you guys do it this way?”
They will begin supplicating. Flip the script on them!

3/3 It’s critical here for you to say less words and let them keep going. You can occasionally give a “mhm” “oh” “I see”
Let them continue until there’s 3-4 seconds of silence, then you say:
“Ok. I’d appreciate a couple days to think about it and get back to you. Thx!”
