AIBU to not know how to talk myself up?!

[Headwhirling]

I need to finish a job application today.
I’ve been putting it off, as I always do, because I find it almost impossible to write about being good at things.

I absolutely know that I could do this job. I’ve done a similar one in the past and there is nothing on the JD / PS that I couldn’t do.

But when I get to writing my application (and it gets worse in an interview 😞) my mind goes blank. I can never think of examples.

I know you can’t tell me what to write! But how can I get myself in a more positive frame of mind?

Can you pretend you're writing about a good friend of yours who by coincidence has exactly the same experience as you?

That’s such a good idea @EllieSattler I was thinking as I was writing my original post that I should get someone else to write my applications (and do my interviews )

Thanks I’m going to try that.
