LOL fint. It's not "sucking up" (ok, Lubers was a bit suckup).
You have to make THIS stranger stand out from all the other strangers though.....and you have to point out your assets without sounding like you're bragging.....interviewing is most certainly an artform.
If a boss is going to hire a woman with the expectation they are going to sleep with the woman, then they get what they deserve! How stupid is that? Business is business and who wants to get laid over a dummy who can't perform the job duties?
And fint, the law industry in Chicago and even nationwide is the same way. They all talk and these firms that are halfway decent have offices in all the major cities, so word does get around..... A big catalyst of the communication network are the associations that we all belong to in which to share information and methodology/advancements in the particular area of industry, etc. (mine IT/Law related).
