I'm going in with a few intentions

1) Practice interviewing. Even if I don't get the job, interviewing is good experience.

2) Moving forward, even having an interview is a step forward

3) Action conquers fear. So even dreading sales, I can learn how to do it, and do it well. Lots of jobs involve sales, and what I truly want to do, creating and licensing new products, is basically sales. I have to get investors and co-inventors to buy in to create a product. Then I have to either license the product, which means selling it. Or I have to sell it myself, which requires lots of sales ability.

I don't know if I'm actually an introvert, or if I'm just overly shy. Selling anything is good practice for selling anything.

Three hours till the interview. I'm going in with a positive attitude. I'm also trying to re-do my thought process that any number of failures is worthwhile for success.

I'll post an update after the interview.
