A Job Interview Is a Screen Test, an Act
A job interview is a screen test, an act. Getting hired depends almost completely on the actor factor. If you know your lines, perfect your delivery, and dress for the part, you’ll get hired. If you don’t, you won’t. No retakes. No bit parts. Now you can memorize the script in advance. There are only so many questions that can be asked and only so many ways to ask them. Oh, there might be minor variations—like the accent of the interviewer, his or her tone of voice, or a pause here and there. Experienced jobgetters appreciate them. Otherwise, they’d undoubtedly start snoring before the offers were extended.
Because interviews are so predictable, they’re controllable. Only the places and faces change—not the words. And you can have them all embedded in your subconscious, ready for instant replay at the drop of an interesting job lead. I know—you think background, qualifications, or experience have something to do with getting hired. You’re right—not about the job, though. About interviewing! The director only knows what you show. That’s why the actor factor is so critical.
