A New Beginning...

I’ve been out of school since May 2010 and have yet to find a full-time job, but I’ve been working full time since June 2010. I’m an individual that one might call a workaholic. Sitting around on the couch, eating popcorn, and watching T.V. all day is not my cup a tea!

I was one of those typical graduates that was ready to step in to the world. Running to the top of the highest building and shouting “Hello World!” arms flailing. One problem…I had no idea what direction I’d go. I’m an intelligent woman but where would I take my talents? What field would I bless with my presence? Well of course I choose one of the hardest cities to start my career, NEW YORK CITY!!! They do say if you can make it here you can make it ANYWHERE!!

Well, I must say I was a step in front of the pack cause I’m originally from the suburbs of NY. So blah blah blah, basically I started my PR and Special Events internship right out of college, then from there I took my curiosity for PR to a PR firm. Then time started flying by and before I knew it I was 9 months out of school and still interning. WHAT DID I DO!? I mean I had learned so much, and basically was working at an entry level without the pay and my pockets started to hurt!

So what now!? A little stressed out I wondered if I had wasted my time, but the truth is I didn’t. I can’t begin to explain how much I’ve grown! Yet, it was time to move on, once my company could not find it in its budget to financially hire me because of all these new changes it was time for me to leave it all behind. The thing is, it’s a job finding a job!

So here I stand, about to turn 23 in a month and still wondering what the hell do I want to do? It’s the first time, I’m sitting on my couch eating popcorn and looking for the perfect entry-level job for me to apply for in the Big Apple.

Good thing is I’ll be posting any lessons learned through the interviews I’ve been on. Wish me luck! J
