Given a choice I'd go last. They've seen other candidates, and maybe honed their questions a bit. You're the last they'll interview so the freshest in their minds.

Agreed but if you go first then you set the level... good or bad!

I prefer to go first. Depending on the amount of people interviewing, they could be very burnt out.

Interview?........... Just go in there and show them what you can do for them and walk away. If you're what they need they will call.

First.

Questions usually get refined as the process drags on.


Yes I have interviewed many over the years.

Go right before lunch, drag your answers out. Now that everyone's late for lunch apologize and take everyone out to eat.

Go first - get it over with.

Plus if they're running late you'll be sitting around waiting like in the doctor's office.

true story:

boss: what are your career goals?

me: retire early.

boss: that's not a career goal.

me: it's not YOUR career goal.

Plus if you're one of the first the interviewers aren't tired, wait till the end and they'll rush you through and may miss your bubbly personality.
