Chapter 10: Selling Yourself in the Job ... > Chapter 10: Selling Yourself in the ... - Pg. 174

How to Sell Yourself advice was given succinctly and with humor. I learned to be natural, flexible, and have a good time! I learned to speak in common language and to eliminate jargon. That is just what I did in the mock interview. I listened care- fully to the questions and provided natural and fun ex- amples that anyone could understand. I explained my past 18 years with enthusiasm and easy-to-follow descriptions. I had a good time and it showed. At the end of 15 minutes, Colleen stopped the taping. She looked up, somewhat startled but pleased, and asked if she could keep the tape for demonstrations to future cli- ents. She indicated that it was the best mock interview she had seen in seven years. I welcomed her enthusiasm and honesty. I knew I had done well! I ultimately received a job offer after just one interview.
