Talking about yourself comes easy to some and harder to others. I can talk about myself for a long time- at least I can talk about my interests for a long time. I can shoot the breeze about the NHL, Disneyland and many other things, but one thing I hate to talk about is myself in interviews. I don’t want to come off as cocky and I don’t even want to name drop. It isn’t classy. You can do two big damages by doing so; 1) you overvalue yourself and your abilities. 2) you end up telling your possible client/employer that you think are more important that the work they want you to do.
The key is to do yourself justice, but stay humble. If you don’t know how to be an After Effects genius, don’t lie about it. I’ve found that if I am confident in my ability to do the job, that makes the client comfortable. When I bring in a resume, a reel and dress similar to my clients (good thing to find out before hand) and give the most details I can about my work, good things happen. I don’t necessarily get the job every time, but it opens doors on many levels. In fact last year I was up for a bid on a project and the client ended up taking someone else. I was bummed at the time because the client would have been not only great for my reel, but they seemed like a lot of fun. They told me they liked me, but it wasn’t going to work out. They wanted a bit more experience. Well this year that same client called me again because they had remembered my enthusiasm for what I do and I guess they thought I presented myself well. I don’t know if it will turn into anything, but I sure hope it does.
The whole mess with “The Tonight Show” has me thinking about this sort of thing. When given the opportunity to say anything, Conan O’Brien leaves us with an inspirational thought. I want to leave that as my close. If you haven’t seen it, enjoy. Make the best of your new meetings and future clients.
Awesome post, I mean Conan could have said so many negative things but he chose a message of humility and left us all with inspiration. You just wanted to reach out and give him a big hug for being so humble about the situation. You could tell that the audience felt it.
Thanks for this one! It is always difficult to find the balance between being humble and giving yourself “justice” so to speak/
our apologies to you Scott, our real iteonnitn were that our visitors can have fun and win real money, we try to organize a tournament for all to participate, but we have a problem of users, trackers and other. hopefully for the next tournament everyone can participate. It is the first private tournament organized by a site, and of course there were mistakes, but we will correct for the next tournament
That’s an apt answer to an interesting question
That’s the thinking of a creative mind

Mais um jogo de duas faces, com o FC Porto a entrar mal no jogo para uma primeira parte quase inexistente.Corrigiu no segundo tempo, felizmente ainda a tempo de reverter o resultado e conquistar os três pontos, fundamentais para se manter na corrida pela renovação do tÃtulo nacional.Boas exibições de Moutinho e Otamendi, os mais pendulares durante todo o encontro.Um abraço
“You can’t reason people out of a point of view they were never reasoned into in the first place?”Perhaps greater transparency might slow them down a bit though. It would certainly help close up some of the loop holes they use to support their more outlandish theories. Actually that gives me an idea. I might write a series of articles on great political conspiracy theories. I’d have thousands to chose from.

Expecting parents are so frightened by the possibility of their child having some kind of mental or developmental disorder, that when you turn out somewhat normal, you’re smart as hell when compared to their worst Aside from that, everyone was just trying to be nice and They also have to worry about their image, I mean how do you think they’d be perceived if they just came out and told a kid straight up "hey you’re not really all that smart"
Simple and delicious – my kind of recipe. “I say hoard those things. Be selfish about them. It makes us less selfish elsewhere in our lives.” I couldn’t agree more. Thanks for that inspiration this morning 🙂
I've tried it once, and it was deliciously cooked by my Grandma. She added more turmeric and chili powder to make it a bit spicy. It was great! Btw, how many servings can it make?
It’s true, I’ll go crazy for anything pumpkin during autumn, and your ice cream recipe here. For not having any dairy, it sure looks rich!
I LOVE the boutique! And I’ve had your same makeup artist before and she is so nice and awesome!!! She and Miranda (also nice and awesome) are the store managers. Wonderfully talented girls. Sometime, you should also try to get Rita or Sterling. If you go to Nordstrom, try to get Lindsey. And if you go to Neiman’s, get Jian or Judy. Thanks for this great post. You look fantastic, Karen!
