Whilst lying on a sun lounger drinking a bizarre looking cocktail that resembled a flamingo with its head up its own arse carrying a small umbrella,, I have had a moment or two to consider my imminent return to work.

Such thoughts do not fill me with pleasure and, like a rat chewing off its own leg so it doesn't have to shag its missus yet again, I have toyed with the idea of a new job.

Of course that would involve an interview which means nothing to me as I remembered that I am the King of interviews. I even wrote a post about it once...

So, please enjoy my addition to this week's Showcase-Sunday, a one stop shop to interview glory. Read on, the world is yours now!

Job Interview's, they can be a nerve wracking affair.

I thought that being a good steemian I would pass on my five top tips to interview glory for any of my readers who are contemplating throwing their booty out into the job market to see who might want to give it a smack.

Read on.

It is important to prepare correctly for any interview. Below are my very own five tips to interview success.

Make sure you look like a Greek god, albeit a modern day splendidly dressed one. It simply wouldn't do to turn up naked clutching a handful of fig leafs for propriety's sake. In my case my suit was so sharp it threatened to tear the very fabric of time.

Place some loose coins in your back trouser pocket. That way every time you take a step they will jingle slightly like the clinking of spurs. Swaggering like a cowboy is bound to fill you with extra confidence. Also, bring a tobacco pipe (see point 5).

Very important this one. Do not eat anything on the day of the interview. Ideally do not eat the day before either. Instead drink lots of coffee. You will be possessed of a furious nervous energy as your body presumes it is under some manner of attack. The last thing you need in an interview situation is your intestines consuming valuable resources.

This stratagem has an added bonus. That being, if your stomach traitorously growls in indignation you can draw attention to the fact and emphasise your hunger for the position.

Upon entering the interview arena you may, despite your preparations suffer from a sweaty attack of the jitters.

There is school of thought that says to combat such nerves you should imagine your interviewers naked. I mean for goodness sake. How would that work? The last thing you want to do is be ogling them with the glad eye.

So instead, when introduced, picture how you would murder your interviewers quickly and efficiently. Perhaps sliding over the desk and kicking one in the neck whilst hurling a throwing star into the others eye?

The very imagining of this scenario as you are introduced will put them on the back foot. They will sense your dominance. After all, a gazelle always senses the presence of the lion.

Remember the pipe? At some point in the interview, summon the pipe from a pocket. It will add gravitas and garner respect.

If one of the interviewers mentions that you cannot smoke here, reassure them you do not intend to. The only thing smoking here is my answers, may serve as a suitable response.

Now that the pipe is in hand ensure that you punctuate your answers by pointing at your interlocutors with the pipe at random moments. This reinforces your mastery, intelligence and perhaps lends a suave urbanity that they will simply not be able to resist.

And those my friends, are my Five Top Tips To Interview Glory!

Quite interesting and enlightening tips Mr. Meesterboom … My past faults in interviews might have been due to actually kicking the unsuspecting suckers in the neck, as well as lighting up the pipe with hashish...???

I may have violated some of those other rules as well? Never got the jobs I interviewed for, which forced me into a life of self-employment.

Self employment isn't so bad. As long as you have the odd day of to prevent the campuses from building up... :0D

Yes...dem campuses can be very burdensome with strain to the brain :>(

This pipe looks very familiar but I do presume, a gentleman never tells...

Always looking for new opportunities, even when I quite like the work I'm doing. Figured that if I can add 10k each time I move and leave before they have uncovered my faults, this is the way to 100k glory!?

100K!! That is the way to do it. I originally thought that I works too that with my current job but they never found me out! :0D

Yes that would be the way to do it -a long way to go!

Perhaps when compared to your peers, there are many in front blagging it even more :D

I have long suspected this might be the case. The last thing a blagger wants is to upset the Apple cart!!!

As always, the pipe closes the deal. I dont always smoke, but when I do, you know well it is with a cool pipe ;)

It's the only way to do it!

At what point during the interview should one load the pipe with soapy water and blow bubbles from it? That seems an essential strategy.

I think that would be best at the beginning as a bit of an icebreaker :0D

Hee hee.

How's you?! I'm sorry I've been so absent, but know you enter my thoughts often. I've got some exciting things happening, which I need to write a post about soon, but I will share with you the gist- I got an email from an editor from Writer's Digest about my book. Basically I was told that my story and characters are excellent, but I need some serious work on some of the basics like grammar and structure etc. And so I am now working with a professional copy editor! And guess where she lives? Scotland! Every road leads there!! LOL!

I am currently celebrating with an unbelievably delicious Imperial stout:
