Most of us have a hard bragging about ourselves and that is what a good self-eval. is all about. Start by listing things that you think that someone who had watched your work all year would say about you. Use one-word comments to start with. Put down both good and bad. Use paper if you just set and think it does not mean anything. Then once you have a list turn it into sentences both good and bad. For example if you had put efficient. Write down I make good use of company time by doing my work in the most effective manner. If you wrote down do not understand part of my job write down I need more instruction in ______ the web sites that I have found all seem to be looking for you to buy a book. You can do this yourself. Just think about what you would say about yourself if you were another person. Relax and use your imagination. Try to make yourself look good but always include some things you need to work on. In those areas, include a plan for how you are going to fix them. For example: I am not good at using MS Excel but I have gotten a book that I am studding to improve my skills.

Body language is key! \n\nStudies have shown that people start judging a presentation from the moment the person is called up from their seat. So while sitting and  anticipating the moment, sit straight with a feeling of optimism, not with that of dread. When called upon, never schlep up front as though a sheep led to slaughter. Stand and walk with confidence with deliberate steps. Turn to your audience and talk "with" them....not "at" them. When I'm presenting, I often believe I'm only talking to 3 or 4 people vs. 200. It helps make your audience feel you are personalizing your topic just especially for them. If you "disconnect" yourself by speaking about a topic instead of pulling your audience INTO the presentation, you will lose your audience. Involve them......make them feel they are as integral a part of the presentation as you are! Gestures, proximity to your audience, facial expressions, laughter and smiles all are part of a positive presentation that will leave your audience clamoring for more! Good luck......and let us know how it goes!

Make sure you have a good product first.  You bf should generally be singing on key and stuff.  Also avoid gimmicks.  Keep it short and sweet.  Thier CD should generally open with their best stuff, and no songs with long slow building intros or anything, get straight to the point. \n\nThere are many lists online of record companies with adresses. Mail stuff if you have too. It may be better to deliver something in person, however.  Bring lots of CDs to shows and network. You're probably going to give away lots of free CD's before anything happens. This is normal. Don't be pushy, just friendly and likable. First impressions are essential.  \n\nIt may also help to put your self in the shoes of whoever you're submitting to.  What would you look for?  If you had to choose who to back up, out of dozens of bands trying to get your attention, what would you need?  Record execs often end up being very much like you and me. They can be very mellow, but they don't like to be jerked around.  Stay cool, show genuine determination, and be easy to work with. \n\nGood luck.

Hire a consultant & printing company. Tell the first what you believe & he tells the second what to do so you look great. If you're going on the cheap, find past examples from other issues/candidates & use them as an example (would recommend you not copy them to closely as that tends to get around).

First, find out about the audience for your testimonial, then be honest, brief, and use your best insight into qualities that the audience would be interested in knowing about. It also helps to share an antecdote that illustrates a special strength or quality of the student. If it takes more than the front of a typed double spaced page you probably need to edit down.

I trust in my instincts and tend to go by my first impressions, to a certain extent.  I will always give someone the benefit of the doubt, or be a little leary, depending on what my first impression was, good or bad.  It is easier to trust your instincts and first impressions when dealing face to face.  It is not so easy on the internet.

Introduce yourself with a smile and offer a handshake. After that, ask the person where they are from, etc. Be yourself, and be at ease. Many people are just as uncomfortable as you are. And, most people want to be friendly.
