I just took it that it is important to ensure that you talk about your fit relative to the position, instead of just extolling your own virtues without reference to the job. Thanks for the comment!

Another good one would be starting something off with "I helped the company to...." before describing the accomplishment. Number two, on the other hand, I don't agree with. If you only "occasionally talk about yourself and only to show how you suit their requirements," you answer the question of whether or not you have the job skills.
