lies, yabang and bola

This is tricky. What's the best way to sell yourself without sounding so full of yourself or sounding like 'nambobola'.

your answers should always be job-related, your experiences and achievements, your skill sets. NEVER LIE, because they will probe and you will be found out. just SELL yourself. it's in the choices of the words.

there is a difference between sounding "full of yourself" versus confidence. show confidence not be boastful. be factual, editorialize at the right topics. be SINCERE. a lot of it has to do with the WAY YOU DELIVER the lines. so practice, practice.

i went to ALL the interviews i was called for, even for jobs i did not like or companies i did not like. i went to get some practice. and i would try out a few lines with companies i don't like just to see their reactions to it. then change it next time.
