How to kill shyness and quietness?

Well, I am normally very shy and quiet.

But I just had this job interview for a sales representative position where instead of interviewing the applicants one on one, they had all the applicants(about 15-20) sit around a table and talk for about an hour and the woman would take notes on our conversational skills and ability to talk and stuff.

Now normally I grunt or give yes/no answers or ignore people but that day, with the prospect of a $19/hour job on my mind, I was more lively than a can of worms. I talked and talked and talked and talked.
