Terping on words that you're stumped with.

And why couldn't one also literally ASL, "Sell yourself"?

You have a point Tousi, however; that might misinterpret a whole different meaning "selling yourself" but then again, this is the root of the meaning , I see your point

I like your concept JennyB , thank

You are promoting or advertising yourself. That means listing all your skills and experience with an enthusiastic attitude. Show reasons why someone should hire you.

Umm, I think that applies only when standing on a street corner.

Yeah, I agree. If I ever saw an interpreter sign "sell yourself"...unless they emphasized that it was English...I would be confused. I would start looking for a price tag and a store to stand in or something

I also agree that "sell yourself" would apply to the act of prositution, not self promotion.

In the proper context, one would never accuse me of that!

For something like "hotbox" I would show in ASL what it means... people in a car smoking, car full of smoke... that! lol.
