Interview tip: Don't Lock Yourself into Anything!

I heard an interview horror story. A friend was in an interview and the interviewer asked, why he wanted to be in their organization. He said, there were 3 reasons. Numbers 1 and 2 went great but then he absolutely forgot what number 3 was.

Moral of the story: When you're in an interview do NOT trap yourself by enumerating what you're about to say. A better approach is to say

"I'm passionate about being a part of your organization and I'll tell you why."

Now you can say whatever you want without fudging the interview. Be your friend in an interview not your own worst enemy.
