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!

Whoooot! What an unexpectedly cool thing! I see you've got some great advice here. The only thing I might add is to put yourself in the shoes of employers who might be watching. What qualities are employers looking for in their staff? What do you offer? Dress well, be outgoing and positive, and keep in mind that veterans are national treasures.

Thanks, sweetie, that's some good advice. I think I'm going to make my list of what I want to be when I grow up and how I can get there now.
