How do you get the critical yes? That one that will open a door just a tiny little bit and let you wiggle a toe in there?
Be prepared when someone asks what are you working on. 
-Leave out the back story.
-Leave out the excuses, the hemming and hawing, and the half apologies.
-Be succinct and watch the non verbal or sometimes even verbal cues.
-Most importantly,
be yourself. Connect as a human to another human.

A wise person (TA 🙂 ) also told me to PRACTICE so what isn’t otherwise natural comes across that way.

That last bit does sound super important. If you really get on well with somebody and they at least sort of like they’re work it stands to reason that they’d be more up to working with you until it’s a perfect fit.
