I've got one on Tuesday that looks like my best shot at a new job since I got laid off in the summer. It's with a vice president of the company and the person whose position I'm filling since she got promoted

I'm just a little weirdo, I don't know how to make them want to hire me boohoo

    If you can meander easily in conversation, have a boundary for things you won't talk about. Earlier in my 20s I was in an interview that ended shortly after I mentioned that I didn't have a good relationship with my parents.

    Rewatch the first few call center scenes from Sorry To Bother You. The idea of a "white voice" is also a class signifier, and utilizing a particular lexicon can confer an uneven advantage.

    Rehearsing a couple answers to questions couldn't hurt. And remember, you're not "a little weirdo", you're unconventional. A diamond in the rough.
