I've been battling the ALDS and NLDS all day. For those unfamiliar, today was the first day of the division series for baseball (Twins vs. A's, Tigers vs. Yankees, Padres vs. Cardinals , Dodgers vs. Mets; each first team mentioned would be the teams I'm rooting for.), leading up to the World Series near the end of the month. They've been good games thus far, watching Zito and Santana square off, Zito won, was pretty incredible. The problem here is that I have this presentation that I have to give at Motorola tomorrow, and am having a tough time figuring out what all to include. So, I thought the best way of resolving this issue would be to write something out, get some writing and thoughts out in the hope that it will assist in the overall creation of this presentation.
How does one create a presentation about oneself for a job interview? I'm sure that some people would have no problem with this. Understanding that the business side of them is so solid and evident they can very simply hammer through a description without dealing with the pitfalls I have. How do I talk about myself? Do I speak truthfully, or give them what I know they want to hear? What they want to hear is my technical expertise. They want to know that I can create a spreadsheet, a powerpoint presentation, and manage a website with ease. The truth? I want to talk about my versatility. About my strength in learning things, my drive to gather up as much information as possible, and the ability to take charge of things without a second's thought.
As I write this I feel the pull toward the truth but understand the need for balance, so, I suppose that's my answer, right? Use both equally in an attempt to be as complete as I can be without fudging things up.
Now, if only I could figure out where to start from...
Post Script - No idea if what I did was terrible, but I have a feeling it doesn't matter.
