Got Game?
When I play ball, I’m not the kind likely to engage in fist-pumping or trash-talking (well not THAT much anyway). I like to play a solid game quietly and have my contributions speak for itself.
Listing things down for my resumé is easy, but I’m stumped at the “personal profile” part. Am I an excellent communicator? Do I write well? Do I have a good grasp of usability? Heck, I don’t know.
On the courts you make a free-throw to join the team. Out here you have to talk about how you could have made the free-throw in order to get a chance to shoot it.
I’m just uncomfortable tooting my own horn. I’m too darn afraid I start learning how to breathe daily through it.

i know just exactly how you feel. trying to sell yourself is a hard thing to do, it's almost debasing.
No horn toot, harder to get people convinced.
At the end of the day, put a hand on your heart and ask if you have betrayed yourself.
You could flip burgers at Macs or join the French Foreign Legion mon ami, they don't ask hard questions.
*sigh*
Tough beans out of a Heinz can my friend.
