Don't forget the classic question "Can you name a time when you have bribed an interviewer to get a job?"

Good luck!

Work on the basis of can you talk to the chap and see that he understands what you are saying and why. Then decide if you could sit in a bar and have a beer at the end of the week then work from there...

I'll never have to work with him. It is one of those utterly random things I shouldn't be doing. Best dealt with the way you deal with the GF when she's giving you jobs you don't want. **** it up so spectacularly they never ask you again.

If he is good, and knows his stuff he should be able to tell you what the job is himself

Loving #2 and #6

You should have a pretty good idea in the first 20 seconds of meeting him. I find second rounds harder when you had to actually do some digging to find out about them.

First couple of minutes and you will know if he is the arrogant guy, the useless quite one, the talker knows nothing type etc so can filter the first group out quite easily.

Check his handshake, quality of his suit and cufflinks and his attitude as he greets you. That will sort half of them out before you get to the interview room
