Practice humility. Let the hiring manager see your true personality. "Being open and humble in responses is something I value in most candidates," says Jenny Amalfi, president of the Americas at Airswift, a Houston-based full-service employment agency. "While being technically great is always important, the personal side of a candidate often outweighs their technical ability in the interview process." She notes that companies seek hires who are strong collaborators-keep that front in mind, even as you navigate late-stage interviews.

For all of them, in the last 15-to-20 minutes, I give them an opportunity to ask questions-and if they don't have any, I think that's a pretty significant mark against them being curious about what they're interviewing, the company, the way we might work together, chemistry, culture, all of those things. That's a pretty big red flag.
