It was another long day at work... over 10 hours if you include my lunch break. I finally got in touch with the lady I interviewed with on Monday at the publishing house. I didn't get the job, which is no big surprise. The only surprise was that she actually called to tell me personally! Usually I get an email or worse yet, a letter via snail mail. She said she needs someone with more concrete writing experience. Shocker. That's why I'm blogging, but I don't want to put this on my resume. Officially I've only done a little web content, a lot of editing and proofreading and little support and consulting with PR writing. Not so impressive, but then again I've only been out of school for a year and a half. During the interview she asked if I wrote for my high school newspaper. That's right: high school. Are you serious? I was super-involved in high school (sports every season, student government, national honor society, yearbook staff and choir) but I had no clue what I wanted to do, aside from travel and learn French. Ironically that's still more or less the case today, over 6 years later. I do like writing, though. I'm just not sure how to get a career with it if I can't catch a break or have a place to start. Nonetheless, my head is held high! I didn't feel very comfortable in the office so I'm sure I wouldn't have liked working there anyway. In an effort to be more proactive, I shot off two more resumes today. Fingers crossed....
