But what I tell people are four scenes from the last six months that sum up what I’ve learned better than I can spell it out: Exhibit A: The High Style The man I was listening to spoke with a strong British accent.

That new shirt is supposed to make you more successful at the job interview. I know whenever I’m looking to hire somebody for contract work or to share in projects I’m taking on I always check their website to learn more about them. I quickly learned that I was, to paraphrase your client, doing OK, I guess.

Those blogs are worth their weight in gold (unless you’re the kind who learns from the School of Hard Knocks). It’s hard to learn as much from the ‘perfect’ bloggers – and their message eventually starts to sound like a string of platitudes. However, it’s not a good thing either to be sloppy.

In most part, I had a lot of fun reading through applications and learning more about people. That said, don’t apply for internet jobs when you just came online, have no skills, no experience, but can definitely learn everything as you go along. Be a person who learns from evey experience. Kind of flattering. We have this.

You put hours of effort and study into learning a certain subject inside and out. You probably can’t remember when you last put the knowledge you learned in university to work in your everyday business affairs. You’ve probably forgotten half of what you learned, too. I didn’t pay attention to what I’d learned.

So my name is Taylor, and if I had chosen to pursue a salaried job instead of a freelance career, I could have avoided the embarrassing situation many women find themselves in today – discounted because of their name, before their education and skills are even checked. We’ve passed the “resume” stage, and entered the “interview” stage.

Where do you learn to get comfortable with all this? That’s why you’re supposed to wear a tie and stand up even when you’re doing a phone interview. Learn how to spin right? Always was a loner and never really felt comfortable with marketing until I learned to be comfortable.

Especially if you’ve learned something along the way. But if your goal was to use the month to create something upon which you can build, both in terms of learning curve and raw material, then perhaps it’s better to stop right where you are. Learn something from the process. Boo on the stress but yay for the fun and learning!

I give them time and attention because I do learn things that I can make valuable for my situation, but I wouldn’t pay (for instance) for advice on being a professional blogger when I have no ambitions in that direction. Experts tell us we learn in spirals, NOT in straight lines. John Bardos´s last blog.

Even as an introverted writer I do get “out there&# quite a lot…I’m a writer, editor and publisher…but I realize that I get edgy if I’ve had too much social interaction and make sure I schedule alone time right after an interview, a party, conference, etc., to recharge. Powered by frugal
