The Boredom Pitfall
Try to make yourself sound as interesting as possible. I mean it. If you are
painting a self portrait you might as well use the right colors. Before we leave
our homes what do we do? We all spend at least five minutes in front of our
mirrors in an attempt to make our selves look as presentable and as impressive
as possible.
Well, the same thing applies to our profile. Remove all drab details about
yourself that might be of no interest to the reader. If you job is something
like editing journals on the etymology of words derived from ancient Aramaic,
well, just say that you have an editing job.
Similarly try to bear in mind that anything can be put down in two ways. You can
either make it interesting or boring; so work on it until you are sure that it
will not bore a reader to death and the best test for this would be to hand it
over to a close friend and ask that friend’s opinion. Nobody likes a bore so
take all efforts not to sound like one.
