# You'll be fine hun
Wow them or scare them into giving you the job!

# No such joy
the interview is with my rather frightening head manager. Who is wowed by NOTHING.

I'm just going to do what I do best, and waffle until she gives me the job to shut me up.

If I get it I'll be an executive!

# Just sleep with him,
that's the only true way women get good jobs.

edit: I should read things properly. Maybe that's why I misinterpreted the bible...

# And if my intrerviewer is a straight woman?
And I don't think my mum's ever slept with her bosses. She slept with someone she was the boss of once, back when she was a pub manager and my dad was a cellarman.

# Situation-action-result.
Whenever they ask a question, follow the format "This is what the situation was, this is what I did about it and this was the outcome".

It's all anyone wants to hear, but people hardly ever answer properly.

Even if they were there when it happened, follow the same format. Don't assume they remember it.

# People always say to imagine the interviewer naked.
I prefer to imagine myself pushing all the stuff off their desk then kicking the computer and screaming at them, but sometimes that makes me start laughing in the middle of an interview.

# If there's one thing I've learned about "strong" leaders
its that they're (generally) lonelier than the loseringest nerds.

Try and get her out on the piss sometime.

Failing that, just call her bluff sometime (in a way that she'll laugh at). She'll respect the shit out of you and probably start telling you what she really thinks rather than what she's supposed to think.

This is all after you've got the job, of course.
