When you feel that you're about to get the job, don't let your ego take the better part of you. Being called for a job interview does not mean that you're the MVP. You're simply being put in a pool of talent that will go through a rigorous selection process that will yield the best candidate.
Don't go around misbehaving. That's exactly what happened in London last Monday. There's a guy who was going for an interview in the morning and someone blocked his way. He was going to get screened for a role as a Python Developer at Forward Partners later that morning.
He told the man to "go F#*@ himself" and went on his way to the appointment. He did not realize that his victim, Matt Buckland, was the Head of Talent and Recruiting at Forward Partners!
"It was totally awkward," Buckland told the BBC. "So I approached it by asking him if he'd had a good commute that morning. We laughed it off and in a very British way I somehow ended up apologising".
