I decided to try it again. I interviewed the other day for an internship position at one of the places I interviewed at during May. They wanted me to come intern with them then, but I chose that other place.
I emailed them last week, kind of on a whim, to see if they had any positions open. And they did. Anther internship. I met with them yesterday, and the internship is marketing for the company itself, which is a small online marketing company. I'd be oing website updates/ redesign, a direct mail campaign, and learning Google analytics, SEO, paid search, and social media.
This was right up my ally because I want to learn how to do some of that stuff for Snapdragon Designs.
I'm going in on Thursday and then beginning 9-4 on Monday. They seem really nice. And I'm excited to learn about this stuff. And they said it could lead to a job. My dad was worried because they are super small (3 people here and 1 in Portland) and their ability to grow enough to hire me on. I'll still be job searching. But now it doesn't have to be my absolute focus.
Anyway, we'll see how this goes. I am excited, because I think this will be a better experience, but I'm still a little wary because of what happened before. I'm glad I'm actually be doing something now, though.
Good luck sweetie!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for you! Did you call the department store you were thinking of working for again (I won't mention them by name because anonymity and all that) and tell them to suck it? Because I would. Just a big old envelope with a note that says, "Suck it!" and that's it.
ReplyDeleteBecause clearly it's a good idea to be burning bridges.
So glad to hear that you've got that internship! Even though it's a bit small and you're not getting paid, you're getting experience that can enhance you in all sorts of ways. Here's to uncertain futures that require a lot of improvisation!
ReplyDeleteYou'll be amazingly.
Good luck, and I love you!
