Wear a MAGA hat
Start with small talk to form a connection. When they ask “how are you?” don’t respond with “good, you?”
Try saying “Wonderful today. Got up extra early to go to the gym/walk the dog/try a new coffee shop/etc.” Give them something to go off of and start conversing. Then start to ask them actual questions in return. Nothing too personal but like if they have pets, prefer coffee or tea, whatever (just going off the examples above).
Basically try your best to make the interview less transactional. Might be tough and interviewer dependent but it’s better than overly robotic/scripted responses.
Smile and don’t interrupt the interviewer. Wait a few seconds before responding if necessary
Find a quick personal connection to start if possible

Smile and find one good, sincere thing to say about your interviewer. You’d be surprised how far this gets you

All of the above, plus don’t come off as overly arrogant and act like you already got the job. Good luck 🙌🏼.

Stay cool - it won’t be a big deal…
