Me- a quick introduction

I thought it about time I introduced myself properly, so here you are:


Let's begin with the obvious parts:

I am a languages student and I would like to become an account handler.

Now lets move on to the bits that everybody says, but you still have to say because they are actually true:

I am passionate about advertising. Really passionate. I watched the Superbowl for the advertising and get excited by the latest issue of campaign.

I genuinely believe I could make a good account handler: I am creative, organised, friendly and very hard working.

And now for some adjectives:

I am confident, energetic, outgoing, ambitious, perceptive and analytical.

That's a lot of adjectives, but are they all true?

Yes.

So I want to be another Don Draper?

No, I know advertising isn't really like that. I want to work hard and do well, not drink whisky and womanise. Though a few sharp suits would be nice.

What star sign am I?

Taurus- which is a thinker rather than a doer according to wikipedia, and it could not be more wrong. I always give everything a go, it's why I took up springboard diving, why I can ride a unicycle and why I am learning the ukulele.

What do other people think about me?

Well my Grandma said that I am 'very impressive' and Oscar Wilde said I am a 'hard-working and reliable young man with a creative flair'. OK, he didn't really, but there so many Wilde quotes he might have done, anyway I like to think he would have if he'd met me.

And do I always have an internal interview going on?

No, because that would be odd. It just seemed fitting for this.    

What Pacman says about you.

You can learn a lot from watching somebody play Pacman.

There are various techniques to chase those little dots, which reveal a person's character.

A beginner is terrified, those little ghosts are chasing you and there is nowhere to hide. They panic, they dawdle and they fail.

There are those who set about it efficiently, with nothing but the aim of the game in mind. You have to eat all the dots, and so that is what they do. They find the most effective route to get the most dots possible, if they are lucky they succeed. But they haven't thought about their final score. The best they can do will be satisfactory.

To truly succeed at Pacaman, you must think about what happens once the tables are turned. Eat all the ghosts and the score will soar, you will quickly find that the other dots get eaten anyway. Aim for something incredible and you will easily surpass satisfactory.

The same is true of life. There are those who panic when faced by the pressure (I have even seen people play it with their eyes closed). There are those who seek to get the job done, nothing more. And there are the opportunistic few, who are prepared to take a risk when they smell success.

That is why I shall be putting my Pacman score on my C.V.
