suit yourself - I found a good, safe tool, that I scanned, checked, and it works, that I thought might solve your issue - if trying to help people is 'site driving' so be it, I can live with that
good day to you sir

The Windows 10 upgrade stuff was bringing my poor machine to its knees - so have a look at this Ultimate Outsider[^] - download and install his tool 'GWX Control Panel' - works just fine on my X64 WIn7 Pro machine

Well, they did back in the 80s, but I'm not sure now, maybe some more first-hand research...

A recent nationwide survey of over 2,500 hiring and human resource managers found these body language mistakes hurt your chance of landing the job the most. Did lying down make the list?

I'm surprised winking at the interviewee and pouting aren't on the list

Will nose picking hurt my chances!?
Here I thought they would bring up something new and useful but no... same old same old. I've been aware and constantly working on these things since I was in my late teens. I believe eye contact and a firm handshake along with a self confident posture will win over most people as long as you don't come off as pushy and conflict seeking.
Now I haven't had so many different jobs nor seeked that many but all my interviews have ended with me getting a job. Also I don't apply for many positions, just those that I want and think I would be a good fit for.
With the correct posture you can smile and be yourself and show interest in a position without coming off as a salesman just kissing ***.
Also do consider your appearance when going on an interview. Dress good enough to impress yet look natural. If you overdress you will just look stiff. If you are male and apply for a developer position a goatee won't hurt either.

One could take this as indication how badly broken the interview process is.

Interesting, and reminds me of a hire I was part of when I was at Adobe.
The candidate seemed absolutely first-class to me; impeccable track record, articulate, poised, thoughtful. Replied to some difficult technical "gotcha" questions with obvious deep understanding of what the "real" issues were.
In the group discussion of this candidate, several people expressed doubt they were a "true geek" precisely because of their apparently not being nervous, their poise, etc.
The person was not hired; but, imho, the real reason was that the manager of the group felt threatened by the person, saw them as potential future competition.

The company I work for were looking for a contractor, and dismissed one candidate because they felt he may be too skilled.
In a full time position that may make sense, for a 3 month contract, get the best person so they can be productive asap. The guy understood the all apsects of the architecture, the guy they hired left a load of fecal matter in the code base some of which still hasn't been located and excised.

Since I'd (hopefully) have to work for a company for several years if not decades I'm simply myself. Cordiality, firmness and education, but most of all honesty. Why should I make my first impression lying to the people who should hire me? In the best situation I'll be hired and will find myself good in that environment - in the worst I'll be hired for what I am not, which renders the day passed in that company progressively more difficult.
