I just accepted a two day gig, where the coordinator, who is a few years younger than me asked "Why are you doing this?" I said, well I don't have the experience in this area of the business so unless I take this gig, how am I going to learn how it works?
Now that youtube and online video is no longer considered a “fad” but a full fledged marketing medium, more and more corporations and entrepreneurs are using face time as a way to market their goods and services.

They end up in the trash.
