  1. Wear a tie-dye tee shirt with khaki shorts
  2. Look at your watch every ten seconds while scraping the dirt out of your fingernails
  3. Tap your fingers on the interviewer's desk while staring at the wall.
  4. Tell the interviewer that he is very handsome, for a bald man.
  5. Express to the interviewer that your greatest strengths are eating and sleeping.
  6. Jump up and down while explaining to the interviewer that you really need to go to the bathroom.
