Good question -- no?

Seriously, I don't mean to diminish, you, or the serious nature of your question. But honestly, isn't that really the bottom line?

A couple of thoughts come to mind;
First impressions are everything, and they do judge a book by it's cover.

I'd hesitate to elaborate much further than that, except to say, that be cautious in your questions, lest you appear to be interrogating them. Always ask your questions in such a way, as to appear that your primary interests concern their best interest -- even if they aren't :)

Best wishes, and good luck!
