It can be super stressful on the interview trail: You’re worried about your performance and your travel details. Perhaps you haven’t slept much. But I would recommend being at your best with two groups of people you might not have considered:
1. Secretaries/administrative assistants. These people often have tremendous power. When the administrative assistant used to tell us someone was rude to her on the phone we listened and it affected that person’s candidacy. In fact, I even recommend sending thank you notes after interviews to the secretaries, assuming they helped you directly.
2. Other applicants. You will see some of these people again. It may be immediately or in a few years, but remember that one day the candidate who is sitting next to you might be able to help you when you have a scheduling emergency or family issue.
