Finally, some GOOD news
The job hunt is still ongoing. I’m toiling away at my internship, working as hard as I can (things have slowed down considerably in the last couple of weeks, though) and trying to keep myself busy. But. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
I had the most INCREDIBLE meeting last week. Just an informational interview, but the VP I was talking to turned around and started emailing and calling all of her colleagues at different networks, asking if they had a position open or if they would meet with me. She faxed and emailed my resume all over town. I didn’t quite know how to thank her, but I will tell you this: if I get one of these jobs that I’m interviewing for, she is getting a nice gift basket from me (and, presumably, my mother, because job=no more whining + money).
Oh, yeah. Interviewing. Jobs. Mm-hmm. I have a second interview with one place tomorrow. They asked me to put together a pitch for them, which is exactly the kind of thing I like to do. Creative and all that shit. I don’t have a printer here, so I made a Power Point presentation. Sounds flashy, but it’s really because I don’t want to spend the money at Kinko’s. Heh. I’m a corner-cutter! No, really. I want this job. I want it badly. But I’m afraid to want it, because that might mean I won’t get it. But I will go in and smile and be calm and professional and not nervous, and I will wow them, and they will hire me.
I also had an interview for which I might be called back next week. I have a feeling they’ll call me back. But if they don’t… eh. Their loss.
So. That’s that. I am thisclose to being permanent here, which is what I really need. My cousin is letting me stay here through the end of October, which is another thing I need. I just want a job so I can look for my own place, buy some furniture and start my career. Oh, yeah, and I want an iPod mini. But that’s just icing.
I also have a headache right now. I need a nap. But wish me luck!
