    I should have said Miriam O'Callaghan, same job but she's much easier on the eye.

    Think about the situation that you are in when you go for the interview.

    The people you are going to see have presumably already read your CV and application letter and now you are in for the interview.

    You are in a great position already. Assuming that your CV and application letter were honest, they have already decided that somebody with your background, skills, attitude and experience can do the job.

    They want you to be two things:

    1) The guy described to them on paper.

    2) Somebody that they will enjoy working with and having lunch with for the next several years. They just want to trust you and like you.

    How can you show that you are these two things?

    For the first part, just be honest and straight and talk about what you have done.

    For the second, just imagine that you are visiting a new escort for the first time. You know that it is always better to be relaxed and natural, you do not need to be the most handsome guy in the world just well presented, polite, respectful, open and friendly. It is just the same for a job interview.

    often without due CV assessment, the escorts are hiring lads.
    i may line something up for afterwards.

    It also depends on the job you are going for. Certain jobs have a specific defined critreria for interviews and you should be prepared accordingly. In my line there are certain question boxes that need to be ticked in any interview, and so I've always prepared accordingly.

    Again the amount of preparation is probably proportionate to how important this particular job is to you i.e. if it is the mother of all jobs (your dream job/ permanent job) then you probably have to pull out all the stops.

    There is a group called 'Carr Communications' based in D4 that do interview skills courses.
    Carr Communications

    A right rip-off in terms of what they charge but they do one to one sessions and video you during it. Its amazing looking at oneself on a disc and seeing all the body language errors and verbal tics that one uses. I found it very helpful and only invested in doing this course when I was going for 'The Job'. I wouldn't bother unless you were in a similar situation.

    the women from Carr wrote a book on this specific topic quite a few years back- it actually helped me get my foot on the ladder,
    I'd also echo Morpheus' suggestion re getting taped for analysis, did that too & it's remarkable what you can see,
    other than that- bribery is always a solid path to follow just so long as you're resonably sure you wont end up in the Mahon Tribunal etc

    Ask them if you are OK to take notes during the interview. Sometimes teh questions can long and require multplie answers. Do not be afraid to ask can you revisit a question if you dont know an immediate answer, dont waffle on the spot. Just make sure you do go back to it though!
