Nice to see the experiment has already been run. I've also been putting myself in as many situations with strangers as possible, and trying my best to project professionalism. I'm trying to get back into sales after working with a close knit group and no customers for a year and a half. I feel significantly more socially anxious than I did in my 12 years as a sales woman, so I'm joining Toastmasters to improve my confidence, public speaking and persuasiveness.

But if you think it might work for you, well, as they say, whatever floats your boat. The best preparation begins with knowing yourself, your skills, and what you want. As for raw interviewing practice, you can get that just by engaging in a lengthy conversation with someone. Actively listen and, afterwards, measure how balanced the conversation was, how articulate you were, and how well you listened. One other note: If you're finding it hard to land a job, you may have to go through a few interviews for different jobs before you finally get hired. Be introspective after each interview and grade yourself so you can improve for the next one. Seems like a lot of work that some might deem unnecessary.
