Engineer, etc. | Can eat a Chipotle burrito without dropping anything

Don’t bother trying establish credibility by shouting your list of qualifications. Deliver some value. In a job interview, ask about the problem they're hiring to solve and show your process for delivering a solution. On a sales call, just show an interest in the customer’s problem. At a cocktail party, show interest in the other person as a human being. If you're writing, draw your readers in with a challenging question and then answer it. Credibility and trust flow naturally when you pay attention to what someone values and find a way to provide it.

"In a job interview, ask about the problem they're hiring to solve and show your process for delivering a solution". EXCELLENT ADVICE! When a fellow engineer first started in Electronics, one of the first interviews he had was for a technician position to repair amplifiers, radio gear, pre-amps, etc at a radio station. It was a group job interview with 3-4 other candidates. An in-house electronic console was cutting in-and-out during the interview and my friend went to go check it out. He picked up an eraser, shut off the console, removed an edged PCB card and proceeded to clean the gold plated contacts on the bottom of the PCB card. The interviewer, who was the station's chief engineer said, "You're hired" to him to the dismay of the others. That is the power of delivering a solution to an employer's problem during a job interview!!

Don’t sister trying establish credibility by shouting your list of qualifications either. “Don’t brother trying establish credibility by shouting your list of qualifications.” So much for lecturing.
