No amount of disguise can cover a lack of confidence and preparation, so don't test the skill and patience of the interviewers by trying to hide anything inside, because it will invariably show up on the outside.

I friend went to an interview where the interview sat and had a feast infront of him, smoked a cigar and asked stupid questions. Needless to say he didn't get the job and I'm not sure whether it would have been wise to take a job working with someone like that anyway. I think interviewees forget that they have a power of choice too. I think that they must have some kind of memory loss and forget that they used to be on the otherside of the desk at one point.
