What are some of these skills?

IMO, I think one can do the following:

smile
eye contact
confident posture
kino? (though I think this can possibly be a bad idea)
conversational techinques?

If you can think of anything else, please share it with us. I have three interviews next ween and am really trying to perpare for it.:)

Had an interview last week, it was a 4 on 1

The most important thing I did was to own the frame.

Also, relax, be confident, eye contact, proper tonality and body language.

And, create rapport with the interviewer(s)

I asked the interviewers/managers about how/why they came to this company, what they like about it, how long they have been here, etc...

I swear by this. Interviewers know almost immediately if they are going to hire you or not.

I pretty much hate interviews. During one interview by (Infinity Broadcasting), i was asked several illegal questions. I contacted my local labor law board and they told me the questions were lega.--i'm in law school now and they were ILLEGAL!

What would be some real-life examples of illegal interview questions?

CAn you please tell me more about establishing a rapport? What about creating a good impression?

I know the key is to have a enjoyable conversation, but that might be hard to do when you have so much pressure during the interview.
