Resume Torpedos

Overcoming my fear of seeming like an underqualified delinquent to potential employers, I've begun to fire resumes and cover letters in all directions. The job hunt is on-- full force. I won't deny that I'm nervous. My worst fear is graduating college with no job and a ticket back to my parents house (not that I wouldn't love to live under your roof and be spoiled, mom and dad...I like old people).

Anchorman - The Legend Of Ron Burgundy (Unrated Widescreen Edition)After changing my mind countless times, I've decided to enter the world of social media and marketing. It's new, creative, and exciting-- it's the future of business and it feels right. I recently did two internships in broadcast news. I truly loved those internships, especially the time I spent at WVLT in Knoxville, TN. I gained a ton of experience and confidence, and met some inspirational people. As wonderful as my experiences were, I still wasn't sure I belonged in the news business. However, if we were still in the era of Ron Burgundy and the moustache, I'd be much more inclined to work in news and live an outrageously self-centered life as a news anchor.

I'm really hoping one of my resume torpedos is going to impress someone, somewhere. I don't have a Plan B at the moment because I refuse to think about myself failing at this right now. I'll make a Plan B in time, but if I have it my way,
my resume will smack a pretty cool person in the face, and they'll want some more :-)
