More Interview Crap

[featherynscale]

They all ask me if I've got a cold, or a sore throat. No, actually. I just sound like this. All the time. I was inexplicably born with the voice of a 60-something blues singer. So sorry. So I say "No, this is just my normal voice". And then they get embarrassed. So maybe that's what's making me unemployable - I mean, I'm not all that funny-looking, and I write just like I talk, so maybe it's the fact that I sound like a drag queen. I wonder if I can get anybody to hire me without actually speaking to me first. Any ideas?

I'd opt for telling them it's allergies and it's "been like that since I was little".

A little less embarrassment for them, but you'd still be hireable.

I actually went that route today. I don't know if it will make a difference or not. We shall see.
