    I am the interview pro

    Why is it that I am flawless in my delivery when explaining my job history and techy know how... If I'm at home and nobody's there!

    Come the actual meeting, even though it's in a Starbucks and not a stuffy meeting room I still fumble my speech and my new favourite words become erm and err.

    This is not a question but a rant, I think hahha

        Take a copy of your c.v. with you. Page one should be your career summary, so have it in front of you and roll from that. Flick through the c.v. if they want more detail on a specific role. That's what I do. Never had a problem.

          Did you remember you were suppose to be interviewing them as well to check they/the agent aren't lying?

            Agents lie!!??? Blimey.

            Back to the OP. That's because in your head you ask yourself the right questions when you're at home. When sitting in front of someone else they seldom follow the same script. It happens, I would suspect we've all come away from a meeting thinking "Bugger, I should have said......"

                Yes, I give them my Vietnam Death Stare. If they flinch, I know they are lying. At that point, things turn ugly...

                    Is it because you're an IT nerd with no social skills? That's my excuse...
