Interviewing is a sales opportunity where you must convince the recruiter—your customer—that you possess the skills, traits, and abilities needed for the job.

Using the "General Store Analogy," the guide suggests organizing your accomplishments like inventory, categorizing them based on the skills they demonstrate.
