Well..time flies when you graduate and don't have a job! Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do. I graduated from college! I have now joined the millions of people trying to find jobs in today's economy. Am I a little nervous? Yes. Am I discouraged? No way! It's a really exciting time for me. After graduating from the University of Missouri School of Journalism (broadcast), I was at a crossroads. I had a job offer in the Midwest, and things could have easily been planned out for me. But then there was another direction....uncertainty. For the past ten years I had been playing the "what if" game with myself. What if I graduated and moved somewhere strange and started over? What if I move somewhere strange, and started a new adventure?..Well, the "what if's" won. I did it. My goal was to move to California, however that was not as easy as I thought. So I posted up in the desert, also known as Scottsdale, Arizona. I've been here for about seven weeks now. I love it.
I've started sending out resumes everywhere west of Colorado. I am ready to work and dedicate myself to something. In fact, I've made some progress. I find out Monday if I landed a freelancing job in Los Angeles! It's a small gig, but a step in the right direction. Now that I've semi-settled in, I'm ready to market myself as a journalist. So from now on this blog will be my journey to finding a job. I'll keep you posted on where I'm applying, who I'm keeping in contact with, my hopes and dreams..blablabla. Haha but this will be experimental. I hope to start "vlogging" (video blogging for you amatures out there) this week as well. Who knows, maybe one of you out there in cyber space has a connection, or vise versa! In the mean time check out my website and let me know what your think! Anyways, sorry it's been too long since I've updated, but I'm back on track now..so stay tuned!
