Latest updates
Suffering the economic fiasco of 2008 and weathering the 2009 fallout, I have re-emerged stronger and with 100% more awesome. So, what have I been up to since the last update? Well, lots of stuff.
An aside before I get into the meat of this post: This blog was never meant to be a regularly updated, well nurtured piece of internet. Rather, I meant for this to be a sort of stand-alone job-interview-in-a-box. Just my work and some musings on my thought processes involved in the creation thereof. Still, I’m a narcissist at heart, so here’s a brief update on the last few months.
Back in August 08, I landed this crazy awesome freelance gig that should, by all means, have gone full time. Then the whole world sort of cashed out in September, and by November 08 I was sans-employment and out on the job market again, along with half of New York and 90% of the rest of the world. I applied to the dwindling pool of jobs I found, but ended up deciding it was for naught for the time being and started writing a novel in December (which I’m still working on). Then came March, when I decided that full-time novel writing, though fun, was not helping my resume much. I decided to take on an internship with the good people at Fifteen Minutes NY, who are great and I had an fabulous time working there until the LA office decided to shut us down. They couldn’t pay for my travel anymore, so by May it was time to move on.
Whatever doesn’t kill you, right? I mean, I’m broke, but who isn’t now?
And all this “working for free stuff” isn’t so bad - I’m trying to take on a Copywriting Internship at this other company which seems pretty perfect aside from the indentured servitude thing. I’ll update this again if I get that, and in the meantime I’m still plugging away at freelance - currently in talks for a pretty awesome viral campaign, which should be solid stuff if the proposal goes through. Exciting times. Excruciating sometimes, but exciting nonetheless.
“May you live in exciting times” - Chinese insult.
