Hello all,
Tonight I went to Gibson's to attend the Richmond Ad Club's meeting, and I must say that I am SO glad I went. Lately I have been feeling pretty down on myself because my job search efforts have yielded no results (how does someone young get experience if no one will give her the opportunity to gain experience??? My everlasting career catch-22). Oh wait, one result: a "Dear John"--or in my case, "Dear Miss Rinker"--letter informing me that the position has been filled. Not to say that I haven't been looking for jobs in my defeated state--I have been, but I have been less optimistic about my resume WOWing somebody. Thank God for my friend Christine who informed me about Richmond Ad Club and finally got me to go to one of their meetings. Tonight I had a great time mixing with people who work in all aspects of advertising, from art direction to copywriting to public relations. I actually met two people who may have some job leads for me, and also who will serve as my beloved connections to their companies :) But Ad Club members aren't just about networking--they are fun. There was a line to play Rock Band. You can't have networking much cooler than that. And in case you're wondering, no I didn't play. But Christine rocked out on guitar!
So I guess you can say tonight lit a fire under my tush and got me reinvigorated about my job search. I only wish it had happened this morning--I hate it when I get all fired up at night because then I can't sleep.
I will keep you all posted on how these connections pan out, as well as on other jobs I have applied for!
Take care,
Lauren
