[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 306561, member: 2318"] Bent -- Here's an exercise that boosts your confidence and polishes your resume. Sit down with yr Word program and write down your Greatest Hits. What do you think are your best performances? It doesn't have to be limited to paid work. Then incorporate those in your resume as "benefits," and mentally rehearse them as responses to interviewer questions. Better yet, rehearse them to a significant other, your dog or the mirror. Did you ever hear of the 5-finger exercise? After you have your Greatest hits, list the top five. (four is too few, six too many) The interviewer usually opens with the Q, "Tell me about yourself, Bent." You hold up one hand and tick off five of your top achievements. At the end, you turn the tables and ask, "Which of those would you like to know more about?" His / her answer tells you what a key (maybe unspoken) requirement of the job is. Bear down on that one. Try to just look at the interview as an interesting conversation, but one you'd like to guide :) You'll come out of this fine, but it's a pain in the butt getting to the happy ending. Good luck.
