Online dating. Put up a profile that suggests a certain personality types and interests. In face-to-face meetup, even if you're someone different than was advertised, choice blindness should cover up the fact.

This tactic can also be extended to job resumes presumably.

I wouldn't like to be standing in the shoes of someone who tried that and it didn't work.

Why? Just go interview somewhere else. The same applies for any interview signalling strategy.

I meant in the shoes of the candidate, not the interviewer. If that happened to me, I would feel like my status-o-meter started reading minus infinity.

Either that's already a well-used tactic amongst online daters, or 6'1", 180lb guys who earn over $80k/year are massively more likely to use online dating sites than the average man.
