I like your #2…I tend to forget that I’m a pretty good problem solver and this would be a good way to convey that. Also, using appropriate terminology on applications and resumes…very good indeed. I think you are one of the first participants this week who actually said ‘be yourself’ in so many words. It’s true though, they want to know who they are hiring, who they are going to be dealing with each day. It’s like a first date..it’s hard to relax and just show your true self! Great list!!!
