You must make a connection

No matter how sought after the job is that you are interviewing for you will have a lot of competition. So you have to make sure to make a great impression in your interview and you must stand out from the the crowd.

connect in your interview
To give yourself an edge that will help you stand out in your interviewer’s mind, make a personal connection with them in the interview. A personal connection can be in various forms. If you are in the interviewer’s office and they have a picture of a skier on their wall (and you happen to love to ski), make an appropriate comment that identifies that. This may not put you above others more qualified than you but it will help you to stand out amongst those that you are equally qualified with. Listen for cues from the interviewer, if they seem uncomfortable with relaying any personal information or are not comfortable moving off a particular subject then follow their lead. If a personal conversation does develop, let the interviewer lead the way. When they bring it to a close and either get back to the questions or say good bye, leave it there.

At the end of the day, the interviewer wants to hire people that are qualified and who will fit in to the culture of the company. If you can make a connection, appear to fit in and have the right skills you will have the advantage over your competition. You will also help the interviewer recall who you are and stick out in their mind in a positive way. Granted we all need that extra assistance now a days to land a job.
