And... awhile later....

Okay, so here's the deal. Last week, I had an interview at a talent agency in Chicago that I wanted sooooooooo badly and another in Indy at a communications giant that I didn't want so much. I was totally stressing out because I was worried about being gone and how it would effect my daughter if I took the one in Chicago. Well, the big guy in the sky calmed my fears.
I went to the interview at the talent agency and was so disappointed. She actually told me, "I've had past interns be upset and say things like, 'If you wanted a receptionist, you should have hired one, not an intern.'" I was offered the internship... I didn't accept it.
Well, I'm so gold that I was told that. I want an internship where I can get some real experience and have some great things to put down on my resume.
Oddly enough, the communications giant in Indy sounds like just the place for me. They have so much going on. They want you to learn, experience anything they offer, and really get something out of the internship. Another great thing about this place is they do 98% of the hiring from within. Typical upward movement is intern, part-time, full-time.
I love the fact that they have locations all over the United States. Even if you change locations or departments within the same company you still have a much better chance of getting hired than someone who has never worked for this corporation before.
They have multiple radio stations, a huge website with many facets, and many magazines both in Indy and other states.
Its funny how things turn around. The stress has been lifted from my shoulders.... Now, I just need an offer.

Also,
This week I was contacted by another modeling agency in Chicago for an interview. I've decided I don't want to intern at a modeling or talent agency.... too bad I applied to like 1900 of them!
Oh well!
It's nice having options!

There is also an advertising agency in Indy that I am interested in. To apply you have to prepare a 15 minute presentation on yourself and why they should hire you. I'm going to try for it. It pays, it's in Indy, and it would also be an amazing resume booster.

Once again,
Wish me luck,
I'll keep you posted!
