I'd suggest several trial runs
with various combos before the big day. Try the combos on strangers and causual acquaintances and note the results.
The problem with any recommendation is the results will vary with your age, race, mood, persona and body chemistry.
You want the combo that work best for your unique qualities and not someone else. With that said, I think plain SOE
is probably the safest 'mone for an interview. If you want to live a little more dangerously, a few dabs of TE
might help you come across as more aggressive. Confidence, charisma and leadership potential are good, but you
don't want to come across as cocky--they don't make good team players. Personally I think SOE + WAGG may be over
the top for an Asian male. However if you have lots of natural 'none (I doubt it) that combo might be
right.
I've chaired dozens of hiring committees and have seen it all. Posturing and big talk without
substance do not impress. But genuineness, love of your choosen work, high energy, honesty, clear communication
skills and willingness to learn count a lot. Realize that most of what you learned in college is useless and you'll
be starting from zero at any new company.
