I am not a real girl

I have an interview tomorrow.

The Recruiter keeps telling me to be upbeat and personable.

I thought that I *was* being up-beat and personable.

...

Apparantly, I fail at personality.

Your Recruiter was just spouting the company line. Pay no attention to the man behind that curtain!

I KNOW, right! I aced the interview by the way. They love me and want me for a second interview. Alas, I have to turn them down because they're in Beverly Hills -- two traffic hours away -- and I don't want to move into Shangri L.A.

LOL. You should have seen me in the interview I had for this job. I was probably the most downbeat, unforthcoming, and plank-like I've ever been in an interview. I got hired because my sister recommended me. And I cheerfully continue to fail at personality.

Don't worry - if you were Buffybot enough for the recruiter, you might actually frighten the interviewers!

That's what I said. I don't giggle. In the interview I explained that I can be a little reserved at first, but give me two or three weeks and I'm all aces!

Whatever, Recruiter. Whatever!

I get told that too. But I've learned that unless you act like a cheerleader of crack, you're not upbeat and personable enough. So I am my grumpy self.

A cheerleader on crack! Bwahahahaha!! Love it. I am definitely not that!

That was all one of my co-workers who came up with that to describe a rather special co-worker of ours.

As long as you don't come off as a serial killer in training you'll be fine.
