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!

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!

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.

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.
