1. What can help you have confidence in your ability to get a job?

Bragging about how good you are

There is no way to have confidence, since getting a job is by chance alone

You know you have desired skills and have gotten jobs before

2. What can do you if you know your opponent is too good for you to beat?

Use the game as practice to improve you skills and confidence

Give up and realize you are a loser

Cheat in order to win the game

3. What do you do if your opponent is pathetic and below your skill level?

Methodically play your standard game

Ease off until the last points to just win the game

Try to humiliate the opponent

If you got all three correct, you are on your way to becoming a Champion in Winning Competitions. If you had problems, you had better look over the material again.
