Learning Interviewing with a Painful Interview

If you think about it, you are your own brand, and an interview is kind of like selling yourself. 

Interviewing or being interviewed could be one of the hardest things to do successfully.  I simply think the word adds stress to the situation.  This week in Loyalist PR, we had an eye opener on how bad some interviews could get, while learning interviewing skills.  An interview could make or break the situation.  People should always think before they speak.

There have been many funny interviews in the news in history, Sarah Palin having a few. There were a few videos that had been viewed by our class including hers but there was one video that we had watched, which is the worst interview I have ever seen.

The video below is the shorten version of the interview.  The interview was with Billy Bob Thornton and his band.  There is a full version of the interview, but the shorter one gets to the point.

The video is kind of funny in my opinion.  Their tour was cancelled after this interview.  Billy Bob also did a public apology.  The reasoning was because they had talked about his movie career, but later had said it was all a joke.

Here is the full interview.
