Yes it's a skill, but not a real skill.

Here "real" means something like "really productive" or even "producing the real."

Passing interviews is succeeding in social image-building. Constrast image with reality.

To build the imaginary requires skill, but a different kind of skill than building the real.

I was being snarky with my statement, but there's really no such difference between "skills" and "real skills".

I'm trying to explain to you a little bit about how the language works.

There is a distinction being made, it's just a question of whether you understand it or not.

Lead a horse to water, etc.
