Selling Yourself using MBTI

ENTJ...That is what I my results showed after I took the test. I am currently in a Human Resources class where we learned about the structure of job interviews and how personality traits can make/break an interview process. If the interview is for a selective role in an organization, such as a company looking for a gregarious outgoing salesperson, then an interviewer might focus on the extroversion traits of the candidate.
 Regarding MY MBTI results, thinking over feeling may be more beneficial in situations under pressure. For instance, my sophomore year I had an interview with Exel Logistics and they asked me various intra-company questions where I had to use factual and relevant information to come up with ideas/suggestions to help solve current 3PL issues. With my ability to use critical thinking on the spot and iNtuition knowing some relevant information at hand, I was able to answer the questions with more ease since it pertained to thinking attributes.
Selling myself is something that I definitely need to work on, especially in this competitive market. Finding the equilibrium between humility and  the 'Machiavelli' mindset of use your strengthens to get what you want is the most important recipe in selling yourself appropriately.-That is my theory!
