like

Be personable and upbeat. Express interest in your work and theirs. Keep it natural and don't force anything.

Make your presentation high level but be prepared to elaborate should they ask.

They are looking for these key things: skill set, efficiency, cultural fit and integrity.

The advice about not needing the job is solid gold. It shows that you are good at what you do but open to new opportunities. It also keeps the ball in your court.

Good luck!
