HOW TO GET AHEAD: TALK IT UP

Tackling those tricky interview questions. This week: ’It’s Friday

night in the pub. Are you: dancing on the table, throwing up, or sitting

in the corner having a quiet chat?’

You’ve probably sussed that you don’t want to be sitting in the

corner.

Your interviewer wants somebody who’s a good laugh, not a miserable git

who discusses the merits of French New Wave cinema. However, you could

say: ’I’m sitting in the corner having just strutted on the table and

vomited violently’.
