My first tactic in attracting people to me has always been to play the smart girl card, then the cute girl card with a fun and open personality. I've never had a problem expressing my feelings and ideas.
Since we've been talking about branding ourselves I couldn't help thinking, in a humourous way, that a job interview is like getting a date. It's easy to look good on paper, but sometimes not so good looking in person. I'm not necessarily referring to appearance, though that is one aspect.
When I went on my first internship information meeting at blueprintpr in Ottawa a couple of weeks ago before I even went into the office I decided I was going to be myself right from the beginning. Sooner or later they would know how I act, what I look like, pick-up on my sense of humour and overall how I carry myself. I figured I might as well get that out in the open.
As a communicator, and soon-to-be professional communicator, it is important to thrive in an environment where you mesh with the people you work with. It is always one of my goals to see how instantly I mesh with someone and if it isn't as instant as would be ideal I make an extra effort to be co-operative and open-minded.
