Day 6- Interview Coaching
The next day it feels weird to not have training, it feels like we've been doing it for a lot more than just the past two-and-a-half days. I decided to sneak as much of a lie-in as I can manage, before Iulia yells at me to get us. She needn't bother, as getting up is a small price to pay to shut her annoying voice up. Unfortunately I have to learn to deal with it, as Tamla and I spend half the day with her, being coached on 'presentation' for our interview the next evening. The other half is spent with Woof, deciding on how we're going to try and come across. It isn't much more exciting, and I find myself frustrated by Woof's insistence on practicing questions and answers when we can't predict what we'll be asked, but we at least get somewhere in the end. I decide to try and lead with my determination to get home to my family and, at my insistence, my desire not to kill any more than I have to. Woof insists that this could cost me sponsors, as some of the rich viewers are 'a bloodthirsty bunch', but I refuse to act that cold-blooded, even if it is just for show, and do convince Woof that doing so might make me more of a target for the careers. Tamla knows she isn't going to gain anything from acting tough, and willingly admits she couldn't pull off alluring or seductive, so decides to go for a mixture of vulnerable, sweet and cheerful, knowing the latter will be the hardest to pull off.
