Possible writing gigs in academia and Style Weekly!

Hello all,

Last week I found a job posting on University of Richmond's website for a writer in the University's Communications Office, which I was STOKED about. This past Monday, August 17, I went to a job fair at Clover Hill High School and guess what employer was there...UR! How funny. Of course, I ran right over to the HR rep and told her I saw the writing position posted online and was definitely planning on applying for it, and she took my resume, wrote "writer" on it, and told me that she would look for my application that afternoon! So I ran home and spent a hefty 2.5 hours or so working on the application and submitted it. I think this would be great fit for me because it would combine my passion for writing with my interest in higher education. Who knows--maybe I'll become a Spider and go to grad school there?

Also this week, I applied for a position at Style Weekly as a Staff Reporter. I'm not sure if I am qualified enough for the position, but I think I might have a shot. I already heard back and they requested writing samples and story ideas from me! That has to be a good sign.

I've also applied for several other jobs this week, mainly in marketing, advertising, and PR. I'll keep you all posted on how each one turns out and if I score any interviews! Keep your fingers crossed! :)

Lauren
