working girl
I mentioned the freelancing and it is truly going to be a big break for me. I met with a woman who has been in the field for a while and decided it was time to break away from an agency and go at it on her own. A few of her friends jumped in and now they have an office building and projects buzzing in from all over the place.
We met for coffee and for the first time, someone was impressed with the amount of work I do at my internship and recognized the skills I have. She told me that I'm a natural at this field and will become a force to reckon with. Me? Are you sure you're talking about this girl, cause that would be perfection! She also talked about agencies in New York that need people with my background and talked about how her daughter just landed a great position in the NY office at BBDO. I can't imagine how amazing that would be.
After filling out 60 some job applications over the last year, I've gotten nowhere. It's impressive how many places have ignored my resume or decided not to call me for an interview. It's not like I'm some idiot with a shitty resume and a fill in the blank cover letter from wikihow. Is it too much to ask to be a workaholic with fantastic clothes and a cute apartment? Please, please, bring on the late hours and the chaotic schedules. For me, that would be a multi-tasking heaven. I would love for the last 12 months of constant stress and anxiety to pay off. She did tell me to enjoy sleeping now, because it won't last for long. I hope she's right.
