I've got one on Tuesday that looks like my best shot at a new job since I got laid off in the summer. It's with a vice president of the company and the person whose position I'm filling since she got promoted
I'm just a little weirdo, I don't know how to make them want to hire me 
Lie.
Saw a screenshot going around that some people were surprised people lie during interviews, and you sure as hell need to lie your ass off (typically in the context of interpersonal questions, don’t fuck yourself over by lying about your technical knowledge)
Or if you do lie about technical knowledge (like having used a specific programming library or knowing how to use some other type of software) make sure you have the ability to quickly pick it up. Like if you know you have the ability to learn fast enough they won't notice, but you don't have the specific knowledge they ask for you can definitely lie.
I say this as someone who lied about knowing GIS when the only time I had ever used GIS was when I used Python to plot hurricanes in highschool. But it was pretty easy to learn the specifics because I'd used other design software. Now I'm running that department (albeit in a pretty small company of about 20).
