You know, in every job application I have been through, there’s always this ultimate question, “Can you tell me about yourself?” Oh I love the question. It’s like, I can throw another question, “Can you handle me?”
I most cases, even aside from an interview. I always adjust myself to what the person across can handle of me. Because, if I am to tell everything about me, it would be very prejudicial to myself. There’s only a handful of people who can take me as I am. It’s the reason why I am not that friendly. I am having a hard time configuring myself just for that person. It’s not hypocrisy, it’s just that I have a million me. Sounds like I have a multiple personality disease. Ha! I believe all of us have. The only difference with those MPD sick is that, they cannot handle themselves.
So going back to the question, especially when that query takes form of, “Can you describe yourself in one word?” I cannot, really. I usually say, “I am me.”
But one day, my former boss defined me as “versatile.” From then on, it got me thinking. Yeah, I am and I owe my dad for it. Everything about me is always about my parents. One of the two things I am proud of in this life. The other well… Brad.
Th reason why I’m bringing this up, is because, for the next weeks after school. I will program myself to raise a company. Not mine, but my dad’s. I am excited. Something to do with his field, not really something like a rack card printing. Finally, the business that I am supporting him of. I never have a chance of getting a degree in business and marketing or even advertising, but I will do okay. After all, I am a Paloma.
