Hiring managers pick people they like, not just the most qualified. Find common ground with your interviewer, whether that's a shared school or hometown, and do your homework on who you're talking to.

People want to work with people they like. Like, it's just the end of the day. Like, it's just— that's it. That's it. Find some sort of commonality, right? Like Todd Lewis, who puts on this event, right? Like, I messaged Todd. I was like, hey, go Gamecocks, right? We both— we both went to the University of South Carolina, right? Boom, hit it off immediately. Or research the people you're interviewing with.
