When Managers Can't Please the New Worker

Every manager, at some point in his career, has experienced (or will experience) the new worker who was hired with high expectations, but who has failed miserably.  Even worse, there"s not pleasing the new kid on the block.  One manager of a Florida shoe store recalls the time she hired a woman in her early twenties because in her interview, it was clear she had a genuine interest in quality footwear.  The manager believed she"d be a good fit with the other employees. Before the young woman finished her first (and last) day, she had complained about the stupidity of having the store"s front facing the west where the sun sets, the inventory methods used to keep the shoes straight in the stockroom and even became frustrated when she learned she wouldn"t receive a one hour lunch break for a five and a half hour work shift.   The manager said it was like Jekyll and Hyde - the interview was flawless, her actual work ethic was a joke.  Unfortunately, that"s not as uncommon as many would like to believe, says career coach and Hound.com founder A. Harrison Barnes.

Keep in mind that every audition, in reality, is a job interview and that you are being observed from the minute you walk into the audition room. Take the opportunity each time to demonstrate not only your talent, but your personal characteristics. Let your personality shine through, and remember that the casting director and audition panel are not there to judge you harshly. They are there to do their job, which is to cast a show to the best of their ability. Learn to take auditioning in stride, as this is part of an actors life. If you decide to work professionally, it is something you will be experiencing for a long, long time. Take it seriously, but have some fun, too. Break a leg!
