Know Your interviewer

Today its easier than ever to collect information about your interviewers. Spend 4050 minutes on Google, Linkedin, etc. and you should be clear about titles, roles, careers, etc. of all the people wholl interview you. If not, ask the person whos responsible of organizing the interviews and/or with whom youre in contact to provide you some background information about the people youll meet. Addressing interviewers with their names and implicitly or explicitly without exaggerating showing them that you know a little bit about their careers, achievements, etc. is not only polite, but also shows respect and interest. Youd be surprised to hear how negatively it is perceived by many interviewers, if you do not know these things. And, on the contrary, how flattered many of them will be, if you are aware of some facts and successes of their professional lives. Its like in real life!
