I've been really bad at following through on my blog lately but thanks for sticking around. Things have been unusually eventful for me recently and I've been hesitant to talk about it out of fear that I would jinx it. A few weeks ago I came into contact with a creative placement agency and we were so in tune with one another that they lined up a lot of freelance work for me. This was absolutely wonderful because I had literally exhausted all of my funds and savings. Being a creative right now is really difficult! I freelanced at a HUGE company and picked up some off-site work with a client in Brooklyn. Things were totally looking up and then an actual salaried position became available at a magazine where a friend of mine works! I just about died. Interviewing for a job-job is so different than for contract work. I was a huge ball of nerves and anxiety but I did manage to get a call back. My second interview was last Monday and I was a wreck because it was super short (fifteen minutes!).

This morning I got ~the call~ and was offered the position. It's such a surreal thing to finally be employed after so long. I graduated in 2008 and worked with numerous companies but never as an actual employee. Tangent: Over. I start next week and I am SO thrilled!

I GOT THE JOB!!

  1. The Boyfriend also graduated in 2008 and didn't get his full-time job until this year. It was really hard and stressful, so I totally understand your elation/relief. Congratulations, babe! x
