corsaired
to get corsaired: When one looks good on paper and gets interviews for a job, but completely fails to convert a single interview into a job offer due to a lack of personality or social skills. Especially used in context of on-campus interviews for post-graduation recruiting, whether for college, law school, business school, graduate school, job fairs, or anywhere one has the opportunity to interview with multiple employers for entry-level positions.
