My goal when I interviewed prospects was to break them down, get them talking and out of their comfort zone, see them sweat and squirm. This technique worked so well with one candidate that in exasperation after I asked him a 2nd time why he wanted the job his response was "this isn't really my number one job choice but I need a backup if the other offer doesn't come through" End of interview, you know where the exit is.
But in some ways taking job interviews is more difficult than actually working a job.

Congrats on getting to the next phase.

Getting homework is good, it means they're interested and you're still in the running. I bet it was that sexy underwear that got you there wasn't it? :LOL:
It was

Monday at 1400 central I have a meeting with their president. Salary negotiation complete.

So hopefully by Wednesday I'll have my tune ordered and (slight) lift kit scheduled for install.

Edit: thank you all for your input

First interview I was up against 3 others

Down to one.

Waiting on a call now.

They are 10k over what I really wanted per year right now. If I get the call saying I was selected.

Hoping the other guy wore shitty underwear today.

Oh, and the Ranger helped. (Maybe)

I cleaned it just before both interviews using that as a zen type calming thing.

One of the interviewers noticed and said something about it. The visitor parking made it look like it was on display in the window behind me. When I pointed out the engine was built in Cleveland and the final assembly was Michigan (the company is a US manufacturing group.. thought it may get brownie points). He got a kick out of me knowing that (the sticker helped) because he was from Cleveland and his family worked their when he was much younger.

Got a good feeling about this Patrick. May the Ranger force be with you!

Now to get a paycheck from them and order my tuner.
BAM!
Well done!
Now don't screw it up because you're really gonna need that Ranger cash.
I'm sure @AzScorpion has plans for it (you) already! ;)

Congratulations!

It was a bit of a gamble but I got some solid tips on a Ranger forum. Maybe others will one day find this on Google and wonder.... WTF.
