If you haven’t interviewed in awhile, no harm in practicing on them. It does seem pretty woo-ey, but one can make a pretty strong argument that most popular woo contains some actually helpful elements. I do worry that the job is actually a sales job in the guise of a technician (like it’s based on commissions or quotas for clients you bring in), and if that’s not what you want, you should be extremely clear about it before you accept.
Seconding the part about “it’s totally fine to practice on these people.” (I’d personally lean towards “if I’m worried about a job being ethically questionable, I feel even more comfortable than usual ‘using’ them to practice interviewing”)
Right. Remember that interviews are two-sided! They are evaluating you, and you are evaluating them as well. Go in with the attitude that if they have an issue with you being concerned about whether their thing is real, then it’s not a place you want to work, so you want to be open about your doubts and see if they can prove them wrong.
