So…I’m applying for a lot of jobs starting tomorrow. They span the country, ranging from Los Angeles to Boston and many places in between, with the majority being in NYC. Some are internships, some look like big work with low pay (like being a personal assistant to a celebrity singer/actress), and some would be absolutely incredible opportunities.

To be honest, I’m a bit overwhelmed. I’m going to be calling or emailing 17 different companies across the country over the next four days. I know I interview extremely well (the only time I talked to a decision maker while searching for temporary work, I got the job), but will I be able to convey my personality and give people a sense of my motivation over the phone or computer? I’ll have to wait and see. I know it’s tougher than ever to find a job right now, but you’d have to think that at least one company would be willing to meet face to face for an interview. If I can get in the same room as these people, I know I’ll lock it up. If coffee is for closers, I deserve my own Starbucks. Yes, I’m that good, and even if I’m bluffing a little, I’m going to need that type of confidence to find a job.

Wish me luck.

I’d do horrible, unspeakable things for my own vineyard.

I want to live in a foreign country for so long that I develop an accent.

It was the first time I’d seen it, and I hope it’s the last. My God, is that annoying. Whoever came up with that one deserves to be drawn and quartered.
