A 30 Second Commercial - starring...

me...?

 

Week 2. Option 2: 

"Write a “30 Second Commercial” for yourself. Briefly include your background, your current interests, and your goals for the future. Describe some situations where you might use a “30 Second Commercial” to introduce yourself."

Well, talking about ourselves can sometimes be the easiest thing to do, but it can also sometimes be the hardest thing to. I personally have a hard time with the idea of it being a "commercial"- because commercial = selling something. I guess its good to practice this... as I will soon exit the college world and enter the "real world" and start looking for jobs. In job interviews you definitely have to be able to "sell" yourself and talk confidently about your strengths and weaknesses. Another example of situations where you may need to be able to introduce yourself with a "30 second commercial" is in just networking and meeting people. Networking is a very important part of almost any career. So even though it may feel awkward and be difficult to talk about myself in that way, you have to start somewhere...so, here goes nothin'! :)
