Interviewers have been interested by some key comment or previous employer on my resume, but the little informal discussions about those things rarely led to a job, except in the case where I had previously worked the interviewers wife.

How many times has a story about submarine experience led to a job for you Greg?

While we're throwing around tips ... it helps
to have something interesting and unusual in
your resume, even if it isn't directly (or perhaps
fully) relevant.

Interviewers have always seemed fascinated with
my Navy experience - serving on a submarine, and
a stint of shore duty writing nuclear repair procedures.
Most have taken extra interview time to chat about
it, even the "irrelevant" parts (which make the most
interesting stories).

So don't *necessarily* drop that first job (riding logs
down the river? working in a coal mine?) off your
resume ...
