how you handle yourself is what they are looking for.
attitude is 85% of employment, credentials 15%
if you are a skunk you might get hired to fill a hiring requirement they got
but trust me you wont finish probation

WELL, I AM A PARALEGAL AND I WANT TO SELL YOU ON MY ABILITY TO PROVIDE YOU WITH MY SERVICES, WHICH ARE THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE AN EFFICENT, DETAILED, ACCURATE WORK PRODUCT! AND BECAUSE YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR AN EFFECTIVE TEAM MEMBER, I WOULD LIKE TO INTTORDUCE YOU TO MY EXPERIENCES WHERE I PROVIDED A WORK PRODUCT OR A SERVICE WHICH EMPHASIZED MY TEAM BUILDING SKILLS, ETC...

SO HOW DO YOU PLAN TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION AT YOUR NEXT INTERVIEW? OR HOW HAVE YOU ANSWERED IT IN THE RECENT PAST?

cough, cough, you are the sellor, but buyers get pretty ornery with switch and bait tactics. They think they are getting a humble, funny first rate mind, who likes to fish, and then after they close the deal, they find out you have packed up and gone fishing and instead they get your other half, an arrogant, unfunny, low class mind who hates fishing...! i.e, Buyer beware! Get all of the details before you take the bait and hire this guy/gal!

just a thought!
