I love working with “older” people. Their wisdom, their experience, their ability to bring everyone together at the work place is unmatched.

On the way out mention “My law firm is Dewey, Cheatham and Howe in case you don’t hire me”.

what do you say when the recruiters ask you what your GPA was? I was in college pre grade inflation...

Trick No.1 : The comb-over.
To: JoeProBono
I've been highering like crazy lately, but and the biggest mistake that I see is folks way overpricing themselves. If you match up PREFECTLY with the job description, then top dollar is probably more feasible. But if you don't, forget about it. People are usually very poor judges of their worth to the marketplace.
I had a guy hounding me for a position so I asked him what him about his salary requirements, and he answered, “consistent with my 10 years of excellent experience in the filed of bla, bla, bla (he was very specific) post PhD.” I told him that when my group starts exploring that particular niche of science will consider that salary range.
The job description was clear about the experience levels and 10yrs post PhD was not even close.

Do not discuss your heroics in World War II/Korea during the interview. It is a real giveaway.
