And the job search continues... On to the next advertising agency.

In the past few days, I have learned a LOT about job searching, interviewing, preparation and execution of the interview. Obviously finding a job, especially one that you are passionate about doesn't always seem to be the easiest thing in the world, but if you open your ears and pay attention to people's advice about where to look, what to do, and how they did it... It can make things a lot easier.

I have begun the job search, making searching for a job my day job- even though I still have social media work to do part-time. I have starting looking at every website I can think of, bugging all sorts of people about what they have heard, searching for my passions as well as any entry level position. I have had a few very informative informational interviews where I received information about the company, an idea of what a day in the life is, as well as general information about even MORE things I could be doing to find a job... I've taken away the fact that I need to get creative (I guess I could do more) politely ask as many people as possible about jobs, their ideas for help, as well as scour the web for any and every job!

I have only just started searching, and I'm actually very excited about what the future holds for me (as well as other entry-level graduates!). We really do have our whole lives ahead of us, and while I would love a job that I could immediately be passionate about (social media :) perhaps?) I would be able to be just as passionate about the fact that I have A job.

The search is on, the road is winding, but I'm looking forward to anything that comes next!

No Job Is Beneath You...

This is a great mantra for those of us who are newly graduated, searching for a new career, or currently unemployed... I have recently come across a few blogs and recent articles discussing the fact that graduates or other young adults are upset by the jobs they are being offered, if they are offered any at all. They think working at a McDonald's is beneath them, even though it's the ONLY thing available.

I hope to never be this way, because you never know when a new opportunity will come knocking on the door while you are working at McDonald's, or at a "crummy" entry level position. Everyone has to start somewhere, and if you do your best at any job, whatever it may be... people notice. They notice your attitude, your hard work and your drive, and it always pays off, not matter how long it takes.

So if you get a job, any job, you should be thankful and try your hardest at it. Eventually the tides will turn, and if you have the right attitude, ideas, and help others out, people will notice and you never know where you might end up.
