That is a difficult one. I crack jokes and try to interact with the
audience. But the thing I don't do is worry about it.
The first time I had to speak to an audience I was totally unprepared.
It was at a union meeting and someone else was chairing it. He said "I
cannot stay but Stevie will take over."
Bar Steward!
So I stood up and talked (or was that gabbled?)
One trick is to pick someone and talk to them but remember to change the
person often.

In the present climate I don't know if that is the best wish. ;-)

No it is not. If your audience have any feelings at all the person that
you pick will help you by looking encouraging. They don't want you to
fail they want to get the best out of you.

Sounds promising. How about that - you have a shot at a job after being
made redundant but before you actually finished up; I was made redundant
16 months ago, and am still looking for full-time employment. :)
I may need to get some advice from you as the new "interview expert". ;)
