Trick to an interview

Well I have news! To link on from my last post I am pleased to say that I have found new part time employment which offers me great comfort. To think that I have overcome that dark chapter in my life that was being the chunky cheerleader ‘wannabe’ offers such relief.

So at the close of my struggles with finding employment I shall conclude that one-on-one interviews beat group interviews hands down. 

Although my crusade is now complete for the time being, I can’t help but still wonder what are the techniques people use to fob their way through their interviews. I guess we can say it comes down to tailoring your presentation both outer and inner to the formality of the interview. Being confident, well organized and communicating fluidly and effectively to show your great people skills seems to be a no brainer.

However, going beyond this, we all seem to ‘act’ in a way or pretend to be the person we think would suit the role we are applying for. So does getting a job come down to how good of an actor you are? 

With this said, if you really do want to have a decent shot at an interview why not seriously consider acting classes? It seems more than slightly ridiculous, although I admittedly tried exhaustingly to step into character for my interview. Anyway, believe it or not but I personally have faith in acting as the foundations for my aspiring career path wherever it may go if it goes anywhere.
