Interview practice

[xela]

I've been getting some jobhunting coaching from a friend-of-a-friend who's a very experienced senior manager. Part of her advice is that since I'm so phobic about interviewing, I should ask friends if I can do practice interviews with them.

So this is me asking. If interviewing prospective employees is something you regularly do as part of your job (or maybe even if it isn't), I'd appreciate it if you'd be willing to take a half-hour or so pretending I'm a job candidate. Thanks in advance.

you know what's scary yet very effective? video your test sessions!

That's a great idea. I can tell by how nauseous it makes em feel.

Check out windnetworking.net. At least for me, being interviewed by someone I know is very different than from a stranger.

Thanks, that looks promising. I've put the next Watertown meeting on my calendar.

If you want a nice, easy, warm-up interview practice session, I can do one. You can even get dressed official and come into our office if you want.

i'd be happy to talk to you. i'm not a very good interviewer, but that doesn't stop me from doing it. and i'm at least vaguely interested in talking to you for real.
