OMGOMGOMGOMG!

Ok, so, last week, I entered a contest with the local news station, where they would draw 20 names of people currently unemployed and give them a chance to sell themselves on the air.  Well. apparently, I was one of the names drawn.  I just got an email from the guy at the TV station wanting to know when I can come down.  OMG, what am I supposed to say?  How do I sell myself so I don't look like a total idiot and someone will actually want to hire me after seeing my fat ass on TV?  OMG, I'm going to give myself a panic attack, I never thought I would be one of the winners!  Aaaahhhggggg!  

*Kermit arms!!*

Ok, ok, I can do this.  I have an outfit picked out, but what do I say?  I - really, I'm not that marketable!  My biggest selling point is I'm a veteran and a hard worker, but I've only been working part time the past three years!  

*Whimpers*

Whoever thought winning would be so nerve wracking?  Eep!

First off, regular breathing is important even for puppet-frogs. Make some notes and MEMORIZE them. The notes are just for you to order your thoughts and to have something to clutch if need be.

Also, darling, remember that it's radio. No one can see you. It's all about what you say, so take a breath and say it. You know what you're good at, so tell them. What can it hurt?
Best of luck,
Bronwyn

Unfortunately, it is on TV, eep! But you're right, I need to make notes for myself and memorize them, get my head on straight. Will all of you backing me up, I think I'll be able to pull this off!

You've all been so awesome, thank you for helping me calm the hamster in my brain down. He was getting kind of tired of running in circles.

*Deep breath!*

Oh, I misunderstood the radio/TV part. But! You'll do fine! I'd tell you to imagine everyone naked but I always get really distracted when I do that. I think my imagination maybe a little too vivid.
