''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5953631/1/The_Key_to_a_Successful_Interview The Key To A Successful Interview Is A Good First Impression!]'' is a [[Ranma ½]] [[Deconstruction Fic]] written by The Sage of Toads.
As the [[Trope Codifier
''Interview'' on the other hand is a [[Satire, Parody, Pastiche|satirical]] story about what happens when Ranma gets the chance to meet Akane and reveal his curse under nearly-ideal circumstances, allowing them to strike up a functional friendship. Of course they still live in Nerima and Ranma is still going to have to deal with Kuno, Ryouga, and the Fiancee Brigade so it definitely isn't going to ''stay'' ordinary...
It has two sidestories: The [[Spin-Off]] ''[[Beautiful Destroyer Sailor Moon]]'', featuring the story of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' taking place in the same [[The Verse|verse]], and ''[[Ranma ½]] [[Crossover|vs.]] [[Scott Pilgrim]]: [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7688488/1/The_Lonely_Power_of_Grief The Lonely Power Of Grief]'', set during the Third Sino-Japanese War Arc.

Line 78:
* [[The Power of Love]]: The basis of Ranma's Ki attack.
* [[Recut]]: As of May 8, 2011, the author condensed and rewrote several chapters up to the takeout race arc. Notable changes include Shampoo's claim of screwing Ranma not being used to get Kasumi involved.
* [[Red Baron]]: As in canon, Kuno's "Blue Thunder" nickname. This gets him mocked mercilessly by Akane.▼
{{quote|"Oh brother, last week he was the '[[Super Robot Wars|Sword that Cleaves Evil]]', and before that he was '[[Kamen Rider Kabuto|Walking the path of heaven, he who will rule everything]]'."}}▼
** He adopted the title "[[Fate/stay night|King of Heroes]]" after Ranma casually referred to him by it.▼
** Akane has become known as "The Worldwide Roadroller" thanks to "fucking" Kodachi with a steamroller▼
* [[Rule of Funny]]: The story runs almost entirely on this and [[Rule of Cool|that other rule.]]
* [[Rule of Three]]: During "The Third Sino-Japanese War" Arc, Kasumi is [[Genre Savvy|aware of this trope]], and suspects a third tragedy is coming, far worse than the previous two (the first two being Ranma losing his memories of Akane and Gosunkugi assaulting Nabiki).
Line 105 ⟶ 101:
** The [[Training Montage|montage scene]] in Chapter 14, as well as the song that goes with it, serves as shout out to the montage scenes in both ''[[Team America: World Police]]'' and ''[[Mulan]]''.
** Shampoo's final attack is a nod to [[Super Robot Wars|Ialdabaoth's]] Shinha Mougeki Reppa.
**
** In chapter 13, Cologne is mentioned as working with Takeshi Hongo, the first incarnation of [[Kamen Rider]].
** Chapter 20: "Everyone began filing into the school, now filled with despair that even [[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei|Nozomu Itoshiki]] could not fathom."
Line 125 ⟶ 121:
*** When Madame St. Paul revealed the M5, Kasumi was disappointed that it was just a cheap knockoff of [[Kamen no Maid Guy|another legendary male maid]].
*** The opening the curry pot sequence for Ranma and Picolet's Fine Dining Duel is referred to as [[GaoGaiGar|"FORMATION C!"]]

* [[Split-Screen Reaction]]: Invoked in chapter 14 during the arrival of the Grand Master who will train the Kunos, Ryoga and Mousse, Donny ''fucking'' Osmond. [[Mulan|Let's get down to business!]]
* [[Stealth Pun]]: Occasionally throughout the fic, Ryouga alludes to a [[Noodle Incident|nasty incident]] in which he wound up in Osaka. {{spoiler|Chapter 24 reveals that he literally wound up ''in'' [[Azumanga Daioh|Osaka]]. [[Don't Explain the Joke|Sexually]].}}
