Serious or otherwise.

Update: Thanks for all the advice! The interview went really well! At the end, the department chair said he was going to talk to the Deans. Now all I can do is wait. Thanks again!

For my current job I spilt coffee on my shirt right before the interview. I keep an emergency sweater with me for times like this... but it's company swag for their biggest competitor. I think it genuinely helped me be more memorable. Even weeks into the job people were making jokes about it.
