Well as my other job as classroom assistant has come to a close i've decided to apply for a sales and marketing job (the PR stuff you see at big conventions with all the different stands and stuff, not the annoying telesales people before you start throwing stuff at me :D) and i've been called back for an interview tomorrow for the day where i'll be put to the test to see how i do.
Now as i haven't actually had experience of this type of thing before (i got my other job thanks to knowing some people higher up) i was wondering are there any things i should/shouldn't do tomorrow? And not too obvious please some serious advice would be very much appreciated.

Now i just got to search around and find my suit, which i hope still fits me.

That would be a sign you were lying.

Wear a mini-skirt and a skimpy tight top.

What?!?

It worked for me...

What, looking them in the eyes? No, looking down and left usually indicates someone is lying.

Yeah, i used to work as a recruitment consultant. Until I realised the profession was rubbish, not to mention the stress.

Get a really fat permenant marker and write 'You only want me for my huge nob' down the top of each of your legs. It'll be covered by your suit so they wont know, and every time you think about it you'll smile (makes you look good) and you'll relax (makes you look controlled).

I genuinely do this - I once shaved my thighs chessboard style to distract me in an interview, and i got the job....

I did that. But I used permenant marker, and now people look at me funny when I go swimming.

Too late to give advice. Ah well, I wouldn't have been much help anyway :^)

How did it go then?

Nope.

When you recall information your eyes look down or up. If you ask someone something about themselves and they look straight at you the whole time it means they are not recalling information, and therefore making it up as they go along.
