5 Ways To Nail That Job Interview: Hollywood Style

2. Don't Be Fussy

So many people fixate on the small details on applications such as "12 years of Cow Hoof-Trimming-Experience preferred" and abstain from applying from their potential dream job. In this day and age, job seekers need to get out there and apply for multiple positions without scrutinizing every little detail on the role description. Preferred is very different to essential. Enthusiasm, combined with an eagerness to learn can overcome a lack of experience and win over an employer. Don't hang around waiting for the right job to land on your lap either. If there is nothing going in that particular industry, get something to tide you over until there is. Once you get your foot in the door you may be able to mould the position into something similar to what you really want. God knows how Homer Simpson got that job at the Springfield Nuclear plant, but how good does that job look? Sleeping all day, eating donuts and enjoying pressing numerous coloured buttons without a single clue to what each one does. Think of that as an inspirational jump off point to encourage you to apply for those jobs that you don't fancy so much, but is a step forward to your perfect employment. You can always continue to look for your perfect position and earn while that comes to fruition. Most people would agree that it's better than sitting at home, scratching yourself and watching daytime TV. Actually that sounds pretty good. I'd be amazing at that job, although I might need to learn how to stomach Loose Women.. That's the TV show by the way, I'm not talking about eating females of an easy persuasion. Also, if you want to be a Ghostbuster, apply to be a Ghostbuster. Look at Winston. He didn't even really want to be a Ghostbuster. He just wanted to get paid.

By day, a typical, clichéd tortured artist with delusions of grandeur. A dyslexic warrior haunted by his poor grammar and dependent on his trusty spell-check. By night he is the musical gigging front man/guitarist in a heavy alt 2 piece noise outfit know as “Exit Strategy One.” Armed with enough affirmation to chase his musical dream he shares his downtime between gigs watching box sets and talking rubbish to anyone who will listen.
