Please use Zoom, if possible, to record your brief videos. “Less is more”. Please use a pleasant background, center your face in the video, or show an image of the program, speak directly to the camera, try not to read. Please remember to include your contact information if you would like people to contact you. Please remember to say specifically what would help to make the next step possible, and/or what is your next step and what do you need for that to become reality. Do not be afraid to be honest. Speak your truth sincerely. If it brings a tear to your eye, so be it. A patient once taught me that tears are jewels of love and truth. Speak to that which inspires you about this idea or project and how you hope to learn, grow, and contribute. Be yourself. This doesn’t have to be perfect or overly professional or even, something new, it is simply something that you dream of or simply would like to be/do/contribute.
