There was the guy who, when I walked into the conference room to interview him, told me to have a seat and said "let's talk".
Edit: in the interests of clarity: no, he was not joking
Omg, this is one of those "bad advice" things that goes around for people that lack self-confidence and are told how to appear to be more confident. They are told stupid crap like how they should take control of the meeting, show they belong, turn the questions around on the hiring manager and make yourself seem like the natural leader crap.
That's hilarious! How did it progress from there?
He asked the interviewer if he wanted something to drink
It's no problem really, I'll just ask -Sarah, was it?- Sarah here to get us both a cup of coffee!
