• Practical interviews are meaningful, relevant and real-life using background information on your business, organisation or role.

• How to prepare for your interview - and how to focus in on your message when you're collared "out of the blue"

• Banish the nerves for good - common-sense strategies for ridding yourself of the needless fears that often accompany an interview. And all without the use of the likes of gimmicky breathing exercises and mumbo-jumbo self-talk

• You'll master the art of the "sound-bite", enabling you to get your point across succintly, smoothly and powerfully

• Understand journalist etiquette - from "on the record" to "non-attributable"

• We'll explain the common tactics employed by interviewers to trip you up - and how to spot them and come out on top

• The dynamics of radio and telephone interviews - useful techniques to maximise your impact

• You'll learn how it's typically not what you say but how you say it that leaves the biggest impression

• A multitude of tips and tricks - from make-up advice for both sexes, to a sure-fire way for ensuring you won't be misquoted...

• Technical aspects are covered: from floor manager hand signals to the effective use of studio monitors... the dynamics of a single camera location interview to working with an earpiece during a “down-the-line”

• What to wear - the most effective combinations for on-screen impact
