Ego Boost
In the last few months I don't know how many discussions I've had with people feeling really nervous when they're about to go to a work interview, or just prepare for a phone interview.
This is no way restricted and limited to the game development industry, those are just the jobs people in my social network applies for.
Anyway, the night before an interview people (me included) feel really, really nervous and tries to figure out, prepare and account of every situation but in a way, it's a great night.
Because really, what you do before an interview is try and think of and remember everything good about yourself. It's a great feeling when all that circles in your mind are awesome things about yourself. You (hopefully) start to think, I'm actually good at some stuff.
It's therapy really.
Everyone should do that every now and then. Dedicate some time for just thinking about how awesome you are.

That’s a good way of looking at but, but I’m the exact opposite.
The more I learn the more I realize how little I really know.

@Arshak
That might be a part of the process, but don’t you try and think of everything good about you, so you know what you want to focus on at the interview?

Yes of course I do, but the process is the other way around for me. I first think of what makes me good, and that gives me an ego boost. Then after continued thought I realize how little I know. =)
