    It is not clear to me what your question is. Who are you selling yourself to? What company are you happy with the services of? What is your goal in selling yourself?

    OK... Assuming you missed Gandhi 1.01 in your freshman year, here's what I would do:

    1. Work out your personal SWOT.

    2. Look at Strength - Opportunity intersects to see where your best options exist. Develop networking and job-finding strategies from these.

    3. Look at your Weakness-Threat intersects and manage the risks identified there.

    4. Stand back and develop a personal value proposition. What's that? It's the sentence you want o hear your current/future employer say about you. A very brief, very positive reference that exactly explains YOU. Take your time, it's important to get that right.

    5. Now go out and market yourself to prospective employers using that value proposition statement.

    6. I'm unsure today just exactly how you will become prime minister or president, but if you're happy in your work, honest, ethical and doing good things to help others, I am sure the opportunities will present themselves.

    7. Let us know how you get on.

    Good luck.
