Take some drama lessons, they're good at teaching you how to act (I use the word advisedly) in situations.

The interview went reeeeeeeeeally well - no dry retching from me, and no awkward silences anywhere. I am quietly* proud of myself for getting through what was quite a tough interview, all in all.
After much to-ing and fro-ing in the days following the interview (during which time it became obvious they weren't sure how they saw the role working) they actually made an offer. I turned it down.
Thanks all for advice; I went for it properly and am pleased I did so.
*when I say quietly, I did do a small dance involving jumping round, shaking my bottom, and singing 'I'm the best, la la la' upon returning to my desk.

Originally posted by MaryPoppins View PostI don't think I'm interviewing to keep anyone happy; more from the point of view that I have nothing to lose. Except my dignity perhaps. Not sure on wanting the role, will probably get a better feel for that during the interview...
Can't you be put in a coma until 5 minutes before it starts. The lack of progress is killing me. And you, by the sounds of it.
Ps. Best of luck! (Again.)
