Closing Advice

humor. They want to know how you work with others,
how dependable you are, whether you will be a team

I have been on the interview committee for (several)
years. I do not think there is any one best way to
interview. The most effective way is to be polite,
interested, not too jovial nor too subdued. I think
those qualities anyone can fit into.
