Make a Strong Impression by Being Last

When you are going to be interviewed for a job, try to be the last one they see.

Studies show, and my experience confirms, that the people who do best in multiple interviews are those who are first or last. And that’s regardless of how good they actually are.

First is good. But last is better. If you are scheduled somewhere in the middle of the pack, give a reason for getting the earliest or latest slot instead. It doesn’t hurt to ask.
