Mediating myself

Right now I am trying to mediate myself to other parts of social environment. My cultural capital (as Bourdieu might say) has increased in a such level from where I might have enough power to, first legitimate my competence, and then mediate it to the areas where this competence might be wanted. Then it is a question also (again Bourdieu) of social capital which I actually lack very much, but it could be also an illusion - this feeling of lack. In order to achieve power in the social field person has to act and be social. Mediating myself therefore means putting myself in motion using I, as a medium of gaining social acceptance in employers' eyes.
