Just to keep you all up-to-date: I had 3 interviews this week and I've gotten an internship for the summer!! It's at W***** Ad Agency; they're pretty cool they do the St. Louis Cardinals (the baseball team- big $$), Bass Pro Shops, and others. Right now they really need a receptionist, so I'll have to do some of those duties, but I will have a chance to get involved in copy writing for their work! It's exactly what I want to do, so I'm excited. It's not paid, but I did get a small stipend for gas and parking. It could also turn into a full-time, paid position at the end of the summer! Needless to say I'm super excited!
Also, kind of hilariously, after I accepted this position, one of the other places that I interviewed (called tS****.. a super small search, social media marketing firm) emailed me and said I got their internship. I had to call them today and tell them, someone already snapped my talents up! Ok, my parents forcefully suggested I call instead of emailing her back, but it wasn't as awkward as I was expecting. The other place I interviewed still hasn't called me back though. It was another search engine optimization place called G** M Search, I liked it the least, so maybe I didn't get that one anyway. During the G****M interview though, the HR guy I was talking to started preparing me to talk to the CEO, who may or may not have been a little crazy... he seemed like a Steve Jobs kinda guy, very techie, revered for his knowledge, etc. He tried to really grill me during the interview, but I think I held my own well enough.
Anyway, this was probably much more detail than any of you wanted, so I'll leave it there... but I'm a little surprised I found something this fast. I was expecting to have to send out another round of pleas to companies. But I guess since its unpaid, it's more like a 3 month interview... we'll see how it goes, and if I like what I thought I would in the ad world.
