Have you researched the company? Do you have a few questions to ask? A lot of employers take that as a sign that you're sincerely interested. Then you can give them an "oh good. That's what I was hoping to hear" kind of response when they answer, which indicates that you wouldn't just take whatever you could get; you know what's important to you and this company is a good match where you think you'll be happy.
Or so I have read.
Also, after contact, write everything down about everybody you talked to (especially receptionists and secretaries; they usually flap the bosses' ears and can decide whether or not s/he gets your messages) and send thank-you notes. A little personal note like, "I hope your son's birthday party was great!" or "Did you get that tire fixed?" referencing something you chatted about goes a long way to helping people feel important. They'll love you for it.
My need for honesty bit me square in the ass again. I told the recruiter about the off road tip over with BJ, and they decided to go with other drivers.
