Attitude is critical as well, and perhaps that's a bit of a risk for the highly prepared interviewee. The candidate who has prepared well but comes across as either (1) overconfident or (2) arrogant, has confused knowledge and preparation with attitude. The right attitude is generally open and personable. As a candidate, treat the person you're interviewing as more knowledgeable than you are, but demonstrate that you are serious and have done your homework!. Absolutely agreed.

Most positions require the potential employee to communicate and work with others, meaning that they need to be able to foster a relationship with co-workers. If the person interviewing is to busy trying to prove he/she already knows how to do everything, he/she does not appear to foster an open communication relationship. It is important to balance confidence with the willingness to work with the ideas of others. When interviewing potential candidates, I have found the “know-it-all” to be a real turnoff.
