To become a stunt performer, it usually takes about 3-5 years. It is different in every country so it’s important to check and see the requirements of your country. For example, UK and Australia have certain qualifications and experience in different physical disciplines that you will need to be considered. I find that working on set as an extra or background performer is good as it gives you on-set experience and allows you to introduce yourself to people in the stunt world. I would also compile a video of your best action skills to be able to send to stunt coordinators to prove you have what it takes to work as a stunt performer.

How do I answer tough job interview questions?
I have had a few job interviews lately, and I do my best to prep lots of possible answers to questions but you can't prepare for everything. If I get asked a question I didn't explicitly prepare for, I feel like I freeze and don't know what to say and those are the points in the interviews I always agonize over after. Please please share tips for keeping calm and composed in a interview...

What's it like being in a relationship with someone with avoidant attachment?
My partner and I have started to take our relationship a bit more seriously recently and it's been going well. Recently, my partner's therapist told them that they have an avoidant attachment style, and they asked if I noticed any of the traits. This honestly was the first time I've heard of it at all, so I wasn't sure. Is it good? Bad? What should I be looking out for in our relationship?

What should I say when asked "what are your salary expectations?"
I'm currently in the process of looking for a job and every time I get asked "What are your salary expectations?" in an interview I get nervous. I don't want to say a number that's too low and not get paid what I'm worth, but I also don't want to say a number that's too high and risk losing the offer. How do I navigate this question?

What does self-sabotage in relationships look like?
I recently ended a year-long relationship with my girlfriend, and it was pretty messy. I love her, I just feel like ultimately aren't compatible enough, and it seemed like the right thing to do for both of us. But even though I tried to explain this, she insists that I was "self-sabotaging," and I haven't been able to shake that. I do freak out a little when it comes to committment, but I'm not really sure that's self-sabotaging, because I just might not be ready to settle down. What does actual self-sabotaging in relationships look like? How do I know if I was self-sabotaging, or if the relationship really needed to end?
