Answer:

Goffman calls this dramatic realization.

Step-by-step explanation:

Goffman interprets human interaction with his dramaturgical approach; for him, each interaction is a role an individual plays which in turn form one's identity.

Dramatic realization is a way for the individual to highlight his/her qualities in a way that otherwise wouldn't be noticed by those around him/her.

This example can be identified in the question; an individual can describe a position in which he/she held a certain responsibility at a job interview. He /she is highlighting his/her responsibility quality that might otherwise go unnoticed by the interviewer.
