Internets! I am supposed to write a little blurb about myself that will be sent out to the entire library in the form of a "look! shiny new student employee" email. Tell me what I should include? EDIT: Or you can suggest things for me to include in my profile, in the same area as that quote from hagiologic.

Blurb

Just things about yourself that you want graduate school admissions and future employers to see. Maybe stick to qualifications and skills. Yes, this is from her mother and no matter how awesome I know she is, the real world of judgment enters here. Love you, sweetie.

The folks up in digital media are talking about their hobbies. Like sports. IDK, I feel like "goes to concerts" isn't quite as respectable. "Local theater" sounds good though, as long as I don't get into details.

Why not concerts? Don't mention the really fringe bands, but some are mainstream. Or don't mention either names or genre, just concerts. Also don't forget the creative parts: writes (poetry sounds quite respectable; don't get too specific), makes jewelry, paints. No one says hobbies have to be museum worthy. Your skills are definitely better than "average".

I put in local theater/dance instead, without specifics. That is a) true, b) more true since most of My Bands haven't been touring, and c) sounds awesome.

Liking concert-going is fine. Maybe also toss in your favourite books, or your favourite genre of books. It's a pain in the neck to write these things, especially since probably only a handful of people will read them.

Well, it is going out to the entire library... which still doesn't guarantee that many readers.

Enjoys live music. Sounds classy, like going to jazz clubs and symphonies and shit.
