I just need an Interview

| | Comments (1)

Job Hunting has always been seriously hard for me. It's not because I don't have any skills or because I am afraid of hard work. It's neither. It's becaue I am petrified of instability and I loathe, just loathe having to live entirely off of someone else's money (thanks mom).

Sometimes, I feel as though I've grown but most of me is still that little 10 year-old girl who felt all alone in the brand new world she's just been thrown into: Singapore. Starting life from scratch is hard. But trying to start 4 lives entirely from scratch in a strange new world is worse and I don't know how my parents did it, but we rarely went hungry and always had nice clothes to wear, even during that initial period.

But the change and transitions have since then petrified me. I've always been like my father in the sense that I'm a people person and I can talk to most people. However, that first moment of change where nothing in your life is certain(not that anythign in life is certain) and you don't have any knowledge of anything that might happen to you tomorrow is the worst for me. I'm the kind of person that needs to know a little bit of the future.

Who would have thought that would be true, considering I keep moving myself to unfamiliar places. You ask: why doesn't she just stay in one place and just know what's going to happen everyday for the rest of her life?

Because compared to me, a cat is not considered curious at all and because I could not stand the rules and the discrimination in SIngapore and I couldn't stand to just live in Northern California and think of what my life might be like if I moved to LA and worked for a great big Public Relations or Advertising Agency. I had to find out.

So HERE I am, without a job.
I AM applying for jobs like a madwoman and I am not getting any calls back, no one even wants to interview me.

WHy is that?

I am a kick ass Public Relations Coordinator!
WHen I worked for Cosmic Debris Etc., Ince last semester, I managed to research and gather about 40 appropriate television and press contacts for them. All new.
and I managed to place products in at least 4 magazines, 2 television shows, 1 movie and I helped out with about 5 articles about the company and their fashion lines. All in less than 4 months..

Not to mention the producing of business proposals for rock stars like Kelly Osbourne and The Donnas so they might sponsor the new EMily the Strange Guitar! I did it all at Cosmic Debris: I even manage to send clothes to about 4 other celebrities to they might wear them and spread the joys of owning Cosmic Debris clothes and accessories and I kept track of all the promotional deals and accounts the the company had.

Me. I did all of that while goign to school full time and competing in the American Advertising Federation. i am not bragging at all. I just need the Public Relations Agencies who won't hire fresh graduates to know that I am capable and I can hit the ground running.
Running.
Not trotting, running.

So, Hill and Knowlton, Ketchum, Ogilvy, WeberShandwick, Saatchi & Saatchi, please, please, just grant me an interview to tell you how much of a great asset you would be gaining by employing me.

I do it all.

Song Currently stuck in my head, causing me to start singing at random places, thus causing people to stare at me: Alicia Key's If I Ain't Got You

P.S: Watch out this weekend for the launch of Moe Y Yo earrings by Yours Truly.
