Personally when i read other peoples biographies they are usually riddled with academic achievement, nothing really about themselves, just they win this that studied with this and that etc. And even when it does say stuff like, enjoys to take his dog on walks at the beach, you just laugh because what has that got to do with anything?
And xvimbi says that one should put together as much mumbo jumbo as possible (just a paraphrase). Yet some of it does not sell a person as much as other stuff. So what should I include and what should I leave out? Are there certain little things that would make a person look worse if included than not having them there?For example: "has appeared on TV" Is that an accomplishment or just something people say to make themselves look good? Does it actually sell or just tell people you are trying to sell?
I have a pet peeve. I get tired of reading people's biographies and all these things they've done and people they have studied with and awards they have won.
