Job interviews are among the most stressful situations anyone ever faces. Some of the stress is biological, and there for a very good reason. Much of it we create ourselves. All of it can be managed and put to good use.
This Reader's Digest Condensed Version of the "Acting Lessons for Interviewees" course will offer you a new paradigm for interviews that can help you stay relaxed and in control of the process. It will also offer tips and techniques from the acting trade that you can use to make your interview time more productive and enjoyable.
Because the material is large, and the time so short, I'll have to spend some of it talking "at" you, telling you things directly. But please do come prepared to participate in a relaxing and enjoyable exercise or demonstration or two.
