Internship leads to...not a full-time job

So I have been interning with Palari Publishing, LLP ever since April 2009, and I have been doing everything I can to make a good impression and hopefully land a full-time gig. I have attended several events around town (even if I didn't really want to) I have interviewed countless people, taken probably close to 400 pictures on photo shoots, and stayed up late many a night writing articles to meet deadlines. And I've done well, and I've gotten recognition. But alas, I have not received a job offer. But I must admit I knew that I wasn't going to get an offer. Call it women's intuition, blame it on the economy, I knew I wouldn't end up with the dream job I wanted. But it's okay, I'm still looking and even expanding my search from publishing and editorial positions to include marketing, advertising, and public relations.

I do have to thank Palari for giving me the opportunity to intern with them and gain the experience I need to move forward, as well as countless clips to show potential future employers. If you are reading this, THANKS DAVE!

I have already applied for a position with The Metropolitan Richmond Sports Backers as a PR and Communications Assistant. Of course, I think I will be awesome for the job, but we shall see what happens! A lot of people are keeping a lookout for me by giving me job leads, and I am eternally grateful for them!

I will keep you all posted on the job search!
