I’m building a new site that will be like a super resume and portfolio site. I’ve spent a bit of time trying to compile everything that would be relevant to my new career as a personal assistant. Let me know your thoughts on the text.
I’m heavy on the word count so get a cup of tea or a glass of wine and lend me a few minutes of your time.
My name is Darius and I’m looking for the woman of my dreams, or a job. Maybe you can help me out with the latter.
I’ve been doing freelance web development and running an internet company for the last two years, but am tired of it and want to shake things up. Working on computers and in the internet world has put me in a detached place from the world and it makes meeting people and socializing a chore rather than an easily enjoyed activity. I want to get back out in the world.
I’ve always had big dreams and a driving ambition to live in my own dream palace someday and set out to build that palace without any blue prints. I’ve self taught myself with programming, real estate investing, marketing, service… and anything else I’ve sought to achieve in.
My new plan is to live in a spare room in your palace and learn the architecture from the inside. I’d like to think I’m attractive enough to live rent free, but I know that is only true in good lighting.
I’m a social chameleon. I can be comfortable in most environments. My varied interests have put me in very different social circles and I can keep conversation and be interesting. I’m open minded and always open to learning and experiencing new things.
I’m a Libra, if you follow astrology. If you don’t it basically means I’m the all around perfect person that you’ve been looking for… No need to look that up.
Why would I be a perfect personal assistant?
Well I haven’t killed myself yet and I think I might be able to manage that for another person. In all seriousness I’ve lived on my own in several cities. I’ve worked in several industries as an employee and an owner. I enjoy an eclectic mix of hobbies and interests. I’m highly creative and enjoy all aspects of the arts. I challenge myself not only mentally but physically. I maintain a good diet and exercise routine. I’ve self trained myself to run a half marathon and compete in Sprint Triathlons. I learn very fast and I haven’t found anything that with a little time I’m not at least good at. I’m not afraid of a challenge or problem and I thrive under pressure.
I come from an educated family, well except for my brother. He got all the looks, but we look a lot alike.
I’m skilled with computer and can do everything from help you figure out why you’re getting so many pop-ups to setting up and office network.
I’ve spent 5 years working with the internet and media, creating animated media, web sites, programs, brand images, and creative marketing strategies.
I’m not normally physically threatening but I have worked as a bouncer.
I have spent hours with people in business and or starting a new business, helping them brainstorm their ideas and assess the potential of their ideas.
I’m great at parties. I like being the host; I can man a grill, make drinks, work the room, karaoke with the best of them and I’m a very good dancer.
I’ve traveled a lot and have experience planning and organizing travel & lodging arrangements. I’m a certification away from being a personal trainer. I can help you maintain a healthy diet and develop a work out routine to get you back in shape or maintain the shape you’re in.
I’m an ordained minister just in case you need to get married quickly or need some sins forgiven. I got the ordination certification 3 years ago to perform my brothers wedding.
I’ve gone to fashion school and have cut hair before. I can do personal wardrobe styling and shopping.
I tend to make people laugh. I’m lighthearted and witty. A smile and a laugh is a healthy thing.
I’m intelligent and can multitask. I can do grocery shopping, pick up dry cleaning, clean, do minor construction & landscaping, proof read, drive on and off road, speak eloquently and keep a good phone voice… If you need it done I can do it.
Using six degrees of separation you either are, or know someone who is looking for that perfect somebody. I appreciate the time you’ve given to me and if you’d like to spend a little more with me over a cup of coffee, please don’t hesitate to call.
