Selling Youself

While i was studying Sales Management in college, there was a continuous emphasis put on presenting yourself well to be able to sell your product and services to the customer.Its ironic that while selling something you have to present it in the best of its forms, whether or not it is true.i found it quite funny when my granpa asked me to post the bio-data of a girl for his nephew.The bio-data had everything saleable.The girl was portrayed as the ideal to-be wife and a daughter-in-law.She is "fair" with an attractive body: "Tall", "Slender" and "Sharp Features" is what describes the girl.She is "homely" and wow...her hobbies include "Cooking", "Knitting" and "Sewing". Well, an amazing combination for today's girl..Her to-be in-laws are lucky.....

It makes me wonder...how far do we go to give away our daughter to a group of people who we hardly know...The effort we put in is incredible..The girl might not have the faintest idea on how to sew or knit but this is the best way parents can make their daughters marketable...I just hope that the girl who is being marketed does not have to prove her skills once she is dropped in to her "New Owners". Gud Luck Gurl!!!
