I am known for having a very good personality.

i play in a local band and i was being interviewed by this women beofre i got on stage. in the interview i was being very talkative and cracked a few jokes.. yet the women frowned at me and looked very serious.. not really angry but just a pinched saught off blank look. i did kinda get her too smile and laugh at my jokes but it took a lot off charm and effort.

some people have said that i come across as a bit weird at times

why do you think the female interiewer looked all serious at me? what did her body language imply? do you think my friendleness came across as threatening?


the look on her face in the interview told me that she was unimpressed.

Well from what I grasp is she was trying to interview you seriously and you kept on trying to pull jokes off and that when she wanted you to be professional in the interview.

That's just my view on it though, any one else here agrees/disagrees with me?

Because of your jokes, she may have felt you were not taking the interview seriously. But without having been there, it's difficult to know what she was thinking/feeling.

I agree, what the above posters put is the only thing I can really assume without any additional details. There may have very well been something else, but it's impossible to tell from here.

You might have been trying to hard from what I've read instead of just answering her questions. Some who do interviews don't usually know dick about there subject and just sent on assignment. Can you tell the difference between a courtesy giggle and genuine laugh? That should have tipped you off to just let her finish and be on her way.

Hard to judge with a news type interview. As someone who worked a bit of news in his early 20s, I was matter-of-fact with the public and avoided jocularity (except when doing write-ups in the newsroom, which notably got me fired from a job).

It takes a certain persona to do news work. The first time you ask a woman about her dead husband stealing money from the school district (true story), you realize the need for some distance between you and your subjects.

ever watch a television journalism program? The interviewer is almost always stone faced.
Don't assume that you did anything wrong; it's most likely the way she composes herself with all interviewees.

When an underlink gets TOO friendly and comfortable TOO soon, it is seen by the NT world as disrespectful. You were supposed to be very courteous but very formal as well. This was an INTERVIEW not lunch with an old friend. Maybe she thinks you don't take her profession or your work seriously. DON"T DO THINGS LIKE THAT.
