My Lady Gaga Look

Lisa DeLay likes people, she likes ninjas and she likes to learn… so she’s combined all three into a cool Ninja Interview series. Well, it was a cool series until she added an interview with me to the lineup…  I think I made every mistake possible for a video interview.

Since this was my first Skype interview, I read tips and tricks about how to do one well… and apparently I promptly forgot all of it.

Lisa is cool, calm and collected, but I rambled instead of talking in short soundbites… short sentences make for a better video interview and a better spot on The Today Show (a girl can dream, can’t she?) 

I was in my living room which has a big window, because I thought the light would be good, but I didn’t realize it would cause a glare on my glasses at times. Which made the eye shadow I had on look like I was trying out a Lady Gaga look.

With her super Ninja skills, Lisa diced, sliced and spliced together this 6-minute video from our half-hour conversation.

Ugh… I need to listen to the experts better!

To redeem myself I want to give a copy of Because I Can away… you know, like paying a penalty for mistakes made.

So ask a question, leave a comment or simply say “Hi” before Saturday 1/28/12 at 10AM and you will be entered to win.

    Excellent point…if you don’t care for a doctor or counselor, try another one.  Some people drain your batteries, others charge them.  It really IS about whether or not your personalities mesh or clash.

    Aw, come on, Janet. You look very nice. I don’t see any resemblance to Lady Gaga at all. All things considered I think you did very well and made some very good points.

    Thanks Veronica… the thing is I only wear eye shadow occasionally and then usually lightly. But one of the tips for video interviews was to wear your makeup slightly heavier so you don’t look washed out in the videos. So between that, my glasses and the glare… I didn’t like it. But it’s not like it a life or death issue… it washed off and all is well.

    I think you did well, it’s hard to be interviewed via skype because the interviewer isn’t physically with you. Good practice for future interviews!

    Great interview.. and it was nice to see you on video!  I didn’t even notice the eye shadow illusion until I was ‘looking’ for it!   You looked great :)
