Yesterday my boss told me that I don't sell myself enough. She was talking work, I am certainly thinking not work. I began to turn the phrase over and over in my mind. "Sell yourself". And right now, as I type away, I begin to think about a book I once read... one of my many, many... many self-help books... "the party that is you"... another term that seems to be bouncing off the "sell yourself" idea. I'm feeling really cheesy right about now but I'm going to keep going...
I'm thinking, how does one sell "the party that is you"... or me... or however you want to read this. My biff asked me just a short while ago to write something about myself. When I did it really quick without thinking too much... I really liked what I looked like on paper. Or, on screen, I suppose. These were the points I'd like to sell, if selling myself is at all possible without being illegal or disgusting.
I've got some thinking to do... I mean, it's easy to sell the clothing you wear, the hair that you style or the way that you smell. These are just the dressings on the package. It's what's inside that counts (though, as a girl, the other stuff is fun too), right? How do you sell that stuff without bragging or being annoying about it? Hmm...
