I was always excellent with interviews, and now as an individual freelancer/businessman, the skills still help, and they only continue growing. My greatest asset for my strength in face-to-face scenarios (including interviews, proposals, or just randomly meeting new clients) are confidence, a VERY VERY broad range of knowledge of many different things, and being strongly opinionated. It often seems to not matter whether my opinion is in line with theirs or not - people (especially smart and successful businessmen) often look for traits, NOT specific opinions about how things should be done etc. Good interview skills lead to good negotiation/advertising skills later.
