An awful lot has changed since the last time I posted on this blog. I have since graduated from college with a Bachelor's degree in Journalism Public Relations and five minors-- Spanish, Music, Marketing, Small business management & entrepreneurship, and business general studies. While I had been applying for numerous jobs during my final semester of undergrad, unfortunately none of them panned out. I am not allowing myself to be discouraged. I have absolute faith that, when the time is right, a job opportunity will appear!
In the meantime, I have been working my tail off. I continue to work part-time for Emmis Communications doing radio/broadcast promotional events. Recently, I learned how to operate the sound board and have picked up a "board op" shift on Saturday nights. The timing of the available shift is not ideal, but my mother taught me never to turn down a job. Additionally, I am now working part-time for our family business, filling in a few employment gaps, if you can call it that. I work on doctor credentialing, social media, blogging, and am in the process of creating a continuing education program for our store employees.
While all of this stuff keeps me pretty busy, I always make time for what I love. I have picked up an opportunity to do some freelance social media implementation and planning. This opportunity is incredibly exciting and gives me a chance to work on promoting the platforms and tools I love.
All in all, I can safely say that life is good right now. I'm getting some relevant work experience under my belt (some work being more relevant to my :hopeful: future career than others), keeping myself busy, and making some money! Can't complain. Additionally if you have any recommendations for social media monitoring tools that you use, let me know! I love learning about new ways to track social progress!
