A tip for an interview is to scan around the office..see what the interviewer is into.
One time at an interview I ran out of stuff to comment on and notice a Lobster Roll sticker on his bag (http://www.fotolog.net/lobsterr... and ended up talkin about street art for a good while..
things inside a persons office is pretty personal, so once you touch upon the stuff they like and talk about it, its more comfortable for the both of you talkin bout stuff you both like, rather than focusing all your attention on the job itself...

I have troubles cause my CV is all over the show. I thought being diverse was a good way to get a range of experience, but not so sure now...

Good point fr0st
It's very easy to get wrapped up in your work and the job.
We are all human and you are allowed to talk about everyday shit which can help things go smoother.
Things like:
What's the traffic like in the morning?
Are there any girls work here?
Where's the drinks machine?
Is that one of your balls that's just popped out of your shorts?

I hear you DirtyDesign!
Now when I go to an interview, I'm not thinking "will they hire me". It's more along the lines, "why should I want to work for THESE guys."

Not sure if this has been posted already but you should always research the company you want to work for really well so you can ask some interesting question.

yeah, almost 1 per year is not bad i guess, however those one per year have taken me from seattle to denver to st louis to mississippi to tennessee. my last interview, which was with www.object9.com two weeks ago. the guy says, so how long you planing on staying here? i said, how long would you like to have me! i haven't heard from them. they were all into me too, and now i don't hear from them. they didin't even respond to my follow up email thanking them for their time.
the strange this is. i've just gone two rounds of interviews with burton, and they never once mentioned the fact that i moved around alot.
both did ask why i wanted to leave my current job, which iv'e only been here for 4 months. i just told them it's not a fit and leave it at that. is that a good answer?
