I think you caught me a little flat-footed in our first conversation, which is fine :) So I got my feet knocked out from under me. Frankly, I'm embarrassed about the old résumé and I realize how little prepared I was to be interviewed on it. But I would rather flounder with you than do it in a job interview. I'm much more confident now.”
