The [what seems like] never-ending process of getting there

More and more opportunities are on the rise. More than I ever would have imagined I would have at this point in my life. I originally thought I would graduate from college and come home to a full time job and begin my big girl life. Think again. Ok, so then once I realized that wasn't the case, I thought I would have the Summer to "figure things out" so to speak and maybe by the end of Summer...or the year...or next year perhaps?! I would finally have a job up my sleeve. Think again. Ok ok, so everything about this Summer and my [POSTGRAD] life is far different than what I could have expected. I currently have two part time jobs and an internship, all of which kind of seemed to fall into place at about the same time. On top of that, I have had interview after interview (the most grueling part of the entire process) while continuously submitting resumes and cover letters because I can't live off of part time jobs the rest of my life...I still need to find the real deal. So basically, I've been busy. (Oh yea...I'm planning my wedding too in case I've forgotten to mention that!) I'm doing the Marketing/Public Relations for Performance Plus by day and working with Metromix by night (and on weekends). I also recently gained another new opportunity as an intern with Cosmopolitan Events through which I get to work full day and night events and weddings. All of this is such great experience for where I want to be! But, like I said, I'm still on the search for a career, in hopes that all of these great opportunities and experiences will get me there along the way. I've had several more interviews and am hoping that some positive news will come of them. We shall see! Regardless, one of my best bits of advice to you is that the interview process in and of itself, despite the fact of how long and grueling it may be, is truly the some of the best experience one can get, no matter the outcome. I couldn't be more thankful for all of the different types of interviews I have already faced, and those that I know I will still continue to face in the future...whether it be now or later on down the road. It's such a great opportunity to learn so much about such different types of people and different companies and organizations, and overall, you come to learn a lot about yourself. I find myself comparing the career search and interview process a lot to sorority recruitment. Might sound weird, I realize, but if you are or have been vastly involved with both, you realize it's all one in the same. Life is a recruitment process. I thank God for playing such a big part in the sorority recruitment process while at school, because it has taught me SO much to help me get to where I am today. I am beyond thankful for all of these opportunities I currently have today because I realize I may have more than many [POSTGRAD] students may have just a month or two coming out of college, and I am thankful for the process it has and is taking to get me there, and for the hopeful opportunities to come in the [hopefully near] future. So many different things to think about, but in the meantime, all I can do is wait. And I suppose I will just continue on with living life in the meantime. : ) Take every opportunity you can get, even if it ends up only being one that you stick with for a month or even a week because the reason you may only be with it for that amount of time is because it likely will lead you to the next best thing. It's a never ending process. One that I (as always) am anxious to see more of. : )
