Monday Q&A | How to use the principle of reciprocity in a subtle, non cheesy way (like in an interview)

Update: Monday Q&A will be moving to Patreon in June! All existing Q&A episodes will still remain free and available on whatever platform you use but future episodes will only be available through a monthly subscription of $4. Then, as the Patreon membership grows, I will begin only answering questions from Patreon members. This move is not meant to be a "cash grab" from my audience. It's simply to support the continued production of the show. Producing three episodes per week is time consuming and expensive. A simple $4/mo subscription for just one of our weekly segments will help the show to continue!How do you use Patreon? Follow these three steps to continue listening to our Monday Q&A: 1) Visit patreon.com/persuasionschool ; 2) Sign up; 3) Stream our Q&A episode via Patreon's site, their mobile app, or you can copy and paste the audio feed into your favorite podcast streaming platform!The question for today's Q&A: "You say that when we give something to someone, this person feels the need to reciprocate. I get that! But if you give something to someone, for example, in a job interview or something like that, wouldn’t that technique play against you. Wouldn’t the person you’re trying to persuade think that you’re being too obvious and cheesy? Based on that, how would you approach this type of situation (using the reciprocity rule) in a more subtle way?” Big thanks to Maria for sending this question in! I agree with her in my response and then I provide a real life example for how to use reciprocity in a subtle way during a job interview. Hopefully all of you on the job search find this helpful!
