Marketing Myself

time is drawing closer to finding internship for the summer. i'm working on trimming my resume and cover letter and it's just hard. writing about yourself and you characteristics in a cover letter is just so difficult. you're not sure if some words will be too powerful and make you sound like you just have a big head. i have to use action verbs and can't repeat certain ones or else i won't sound creative...

making a marketing campaign for our class project is similar to this. it was really difficult in creating the perfect vision statement because you are describing your personal event that will hopefully impact the others that are seeking to be influenced by it. it's just like writing the correct objective in a resume.

i've never seen so many pointless commercials while watching t.v.

the actual commercial never stays in my mind .. just the fact that it just was horrible does .. i wonder if these companies' marketing teams are doing their jobs. their jobs are to represent their brand without hurting its own image. i'm sure that their marketing teams are very large. the only one that still stays in my mind is the geico commericals. they consistently stick to a central them. and you clearly what is representing what.
