That Took Long Enough!

Before I go into today's rant/malapropisms/look at me show off my awesome vocabulary, I'd like to personally thank Mr. Charles Thomson once again for his insightful commentary on one of my previous blog posts. I appreciate your ("your" being all of you, lovely wonderful readers) continued patronage of this blog, and encourage more commentary like the kind Mr. Thomson has provided.

(If you'd like to find Mr. Thomson on Twitter, his handle is @CEThomson).

Thankfully, at long last, Associated Content has published my newest articles for your reading consumption. I encourage all of you to check it out, as I consider it some of my best writing work. The strength of those three writings alone damn near netted me a job two weeks out of school, but I flubbed the interview. Anyway, my AC page can be found in the links on the sidebar. You can also check out my Twitter page and my resume, just in case you want to hire me for something *cough cough.*

Despite that setback, I think I might have a chance with the latest advertisement I have answered. The ad reads, in part:

"On the features side, we're looking for a talented writer with lots of creative story ideas and a healthy knowledge of pop culture.

 

As the paper's features reporter, you’ll be expected to plan and produce stories for our Weekend section as well as produce stories and center pieces for the daily sections. You’ll write features, news and reviews covering everything from national trends to high-profile Atlanta art exhibits to local pageants. Having an interest in books, theater, music, movies, food and home is a must.

 

Some experience working at a daily or weekly newspaper is preferred."

Preferred, but not required! Also, I did spent a year working for the college newspaper, albeit in a non-traditional newsroom. I do understand how to get things in on time and I understand the concept of a news budget, etc. So, here's to hoping. 

I also sent my resume to another business: The Wings, Pizza 'N' Things by my house. I think that just about runs the gamut of graduate opportunities in this economy.
