Things seem to be feeling more and more like "home" the longer I've been exposing myself to the community. I was thinking of going to the main office to the apartment complex I'm currently staying in to see if there was any sort of odd jobs I could do around the neighbourhood - not for extra money (although that would be nice, but to just meet people and be a good Samaritan).
I'm feeling pretty good about myself over the past three days. I had a call from a potential employer whom I had a half interview screening, half small talk conversation with that last 33 minutes. I was shocked It's nice to know that honesty can you get you far in this life; when you meet the right people. This guy (don't want to mention names) seemed to be very outgoing and conscientious of his recruiting. Something that I do admire. He was talking about having drive and working hard in this position I'm applying for and with further pondering of the mind - I know this is something I CAN do. I WILL do! I think I found my niche.
I say found my niche, even tho the position I'm applying for is not in the publishing industry, because I'm thinking outside the box here. I can see a path to lead to my "dream" job while still being within the company parameters.
Why put the word dream in quotations? Well, simply because of something I had said on this phone call. I had said that my dream job was to work for Cosmopolitan. Upon delving more into what I *meant* to say ... I simply want to work in the industry of publishing or dealing with words (proofreading or editing) in some form. I think in a round-about way that is what he was asking me when he questioned me about what I would be doing exactly at Cosmo.
I've always had a passion for words; correcting my peers grammar, punctuation and spelling or even doing their English assignments (even for people not in my class or college students while I was in high-school). I wanted to be on the school newspaper committee but wasn't accepted as I was pretty much a social outcast. I didn't even get accepted into the yearbook committee. Most likely, because I wasn't part of the photography club. I'll never know.
Rantings aside, I must get to bed as it is 1:30 AM. I need my beauty sleep for this interview tomorrow.
