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!

You've already gotten some great advice. I think it's a good opportunity for you!

You might check here: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Jobclub Tory Johnson is ABC's workplace expert, and she usually has some sensible ideas.

The only thing I will add is that remember that you have a whole load of people who will be sending good wishes your way! We know that you are sharp, talented, brave and intelligent, and that you deserve a great job!

One thing you might consider is putting your writing skills to work; believe it or not, there is a great demand for people who can actually put a coherent sentence together.

Thank you so much for the link, that's great! And thank you for the support. My brain has settled a little bit now and I'm more able to think clearly, so I can really appreciate all the kindness everyone has shown me.

*Hugs you tight*
