I agree. When you first start interviewing, it's easy to be timid,
and to regard interviewers as though they are doing you a favor by
talking to you at all. When I started to see an interview as being
two-way, with me checking out the company as much as the company was
checking out me, I took a large step forward. When I also started to
see an interview as a tactical situation that I could influence or
possibly even control, I took an even larger step towards an
accurate perception. I also started getting more job offers as a
result of interviews.

Or maybe the increase number of offers had something to do with the
number of dot.com startups in which the interviewers had only been
on the job a few weeks themselves?
