Do you think you would be able to "sell yourself" in an interview right now if you had to? Why or why not? When I say "sell yourself", I mean make your interviewers know why you should be selected over other people for a job, position, internship, etc. Essentially, do you know how to describe all of the positive attributes about yourself?
