The Interview: Your Sales Presentation
Answers to the questions you will be asked during the interview provide you with an opportunity to sell yourself. Think of it as a sales presentation. Each question provides you with an opportunity to make a sale with your answer.
The people you encounter will be doing more than just assessing your technical skills. They will form opinions of you as to what kind of a person you are and do they want to work with you.
