So, selling myself.
Not in the bad debauched way, in the pleasant; "hello would you like me, as an asset? nothing sexual mind"
I recently met a girl as she tells me i'm alright at this writing lark, this is interesting for two reasons: I always thought so, but no one ever picked up on it before. And I am so dyslexic its not even funny, on my first draft of anything there is more red underlining than black text. but maybe that is my secret tool, the little quirk that maybe gives me an edge.
I shall elaborate (thanks for asking :) ) is it best to throw (sometimes almost non-metaphorically) the entire contents of your brain up onto the screen and then pick though it with a fine tooth comb? sure sorting the spelling out is easy as pie, and although i haven't the foggiest how to do it right, i am aware in a 6th sense sort of way when its wrong, and this is the age of infinite information. i can put anything right with the power of google. this is now the fifth draft your reading, and i have looked up countless words and phrases already, hopefully some of it will stick.
(fun fact: i LOVE, in a completely non-patronising way, when i'm stumped: asking people to ask google their questions. and watch as their game face goes on and they strike out to solve the problem themselves, i guess maybe its not something people are used to doing much anymore, but everyone loves a good puzzle, the internet a tool we all have, its is used by everyone for everything, and i also think it is devastatingly overlooked)
So how is my rant useful to you, a perspective employer? hopefully the act of reading this should persuade you in some way. quickly, another thing i want to address: i haven't mentioned a huge amount about the type of work i seek, and thats because i am open to anything, really. ill do a blog on this probably next, i don't see myself as taking the first or highest bidder, i consider myself to be rather wonderfully adaptable, i want to adapt, i want to learn, and i want to do it while making something bigger.
First post, no idea if i will keep it, thank you, please share, and for the moment i'm still just dreaming.
