25 reasons you didn’t get the job

September 28th, 2007

While trawling through Digg i found this handy post…

I’m planning on desperately thinking through each point before i make those promotional items (that i mentioned previously) and send them out. I feel like they have to be absolutely perfect because once i have posted them, they exist forever, not like if i make something here and dont like it i can just delete it or throw it out, but once its in the mail and posted people can keep them and then they’re around forever whether i like it or not.

Whoever will see them, whether they are infact the people i posted to or not, it will reflect on me and i only want it to say good things about me and my “skills” because even though my targets might not like it someone else who visits the office (for example) or empties the bins might like them and decide to employ me!

But only if they are utterly amazing! ^_^

Im still not 100% sure what i should be deciding to contain in these little promotional packs. They need to be informative but not boring or too wordy. Yet at the same time they need to be visual but they also need to be accurate enough so that anyone who wants to employ me will understand what i am capable of.

On the other hand i could make something that gives just enough information to make them want to look at my portfolio or my website? hmmm this is a tough one.
