Remain professional while maintaining boundaries. If you were late to an interview or didn't perform well, those could work against you, especially since they want to determine what quality work you'd perform or your work ethic.

"I once went to an interview where the interviewer kept calling me by the wrong name. I corrected them several times, but they couldn't keep it straight. I was also confused by several of their questions, and I finally asked if they had a copy of my resume. They said they did, but when I looked at it, I explained it wasn't my resume. It turned out they got my number mixed up with another candidate. Once I pointed that out, they stepped up and away from the table and got on their cell phone and called this other person, asking why they weren't at the interview, and it was clear they never called them. When they got off the phone, they came back and asked me who I was again, and I told them my name one last time, and they flipped through the resumes in their binder and told me mine wasn't in there. I had a copy of my resume with me and handed it to them, and they looked over my resume and said I was all wrong for the role, and without another word, they packed up and left. One thing was sure, I would never hire that person for any job."
