Very few attacks are truly random. The majority of the time, they are planned.
A good self-defense strategy in preventing a rape and possibly saving your life is to fail the interview. Rapists are more predatory in nature, therefore they watch and look for their next target. They will case a certain area or a particular person. He is looking for a situation when a woman may be available and alone. Most rapes are committed by someone who is acquainted with you and your situation, not necessarily a friend or family member. But he has seen you, knows where you work, live and/or shop.
Another aspect is the interview process. He is testing you and the situation to see if you are an easy target. You want to FAIL this interview!
He will ask questions that are irrelevant to him. Do not give him any information you don't have to. Do not tell him you are alone. Do not take your eyes off of him, even when he tries to distract you. Keep distance and obstacles between you and him, but do not corner yourself.
Put your hands up, commanding loudly and with authority -- "STOP! GET AWAY FROM ME!" "I have NO business with you!" You want to attract attention.
