I have my interview coming up on Friday and Ive gone through all of my possible questions but for some reason Im having trouble coming up with a thoughtful and enticing answer to the question "Tell us about yourself". Ok, not really a question but you get the point
I want to sell myself but Ive never had to brag about myself and its really hard to do

Just say:
Well tell me what you are looking for and I'll tell you if I fit the bill.

Practice a 60-second commercial where you tell about yourself - I mean practice it becuase it feels different when you say it for the first time in front of an interview panel. Stand in front of a mirror and rehearse that baby (maddoc, get your head out of the gutter, the lotion comes later).

use examples!!
Don't just say that you're a team player, SHOW you're a team player.
Choose three of the things that Ken mentioned and come up with a 15-sec story for each of them.
