"I have been functioning as a creative services manager within the entertainment and post production industries. Creating promotional material, demo reels, art direction etc. I am well versed in Final Cut Pro editing although I have never used it for feature film. Just for promotional demo reels etc. I also am handy with Adobe Design Suite, creating advertisements and branding materials. Logos, etc. Hopefully this helps you get a grasp on my skill sets. Basically I am headed towards art direction and conceptual marketing using these skills." |
What he emailed you may be part of the problem. Unless someone vouched for the guy I'd not consider someone who is "handy" with CS.
He is "basically heading towards art direction".
I realize he may be having casual conversation with you but he needs to realize that you will pass along info the way he presents it.
I'm willing to bet his resume is full of similar soft sells.
If he told you, "I am the hottest editor for promotional demo reels in the area." You'd tell people, he's the hottest editor for promotional demo reels!
