Don't interrupt. Make sure you understand the job before you claim to have the perfect person.
Start a conversation with light banter. Don't get straight down to business. Don't forget the social amenities.
Don't be too results-oriented. Be a mensch. Do your job in a nice, friendly way and make the world a better place.
