Well that's the way she lose those walkin' blues...diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Had my interview with 1812 Productions today. It went really, really well. They seemed like a really laid-back, fun group of people, and the guy interviewing me was a total sweetheart. And I think I basically impressed the hell out of him. (I impressed myself, anyway, by not falling apart and turning into a gibbering basket case.) He was talking about how part of the internship would involve helping him out with various social networking and marketing sites, like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. I explained to him the concept of a Twitter hashtag and he was like "OH MY GOD, I've never heard of that before, that's AWESOME."
So that would be part of the job description. A lot of it, however, would be administrative stuff -- making contacts with major newspapers, keeping our contacts up-to-date, researching various reporters and media outlets, as well as proofreading and editing press releases and stuff.
It sounds like it'd be really fast-paced and intense, but a lot of fun, and maybe even sort of glamorous. I'd be at all their premieres, meeting members of the press and stuff. (OMG, I'd be like CJ Cregg [or Robert Gibbs] in miniature. Only...not at all...shut up.)
The best part is, they'd only need me through the first week of January, and even that's flexible. Meaning I could be back in Oberlin for Winter Term!
Of course, I'm getting ahead of myself. He said he had a lot of applicants to interview, and that he'd be getting back to me next week. But I felt really good about the whole thing. And even if I don't get it, I know I did a damn good job trying.
Off to Lili's now to marathon more West Wing!
Well, I look short there, but I looked good for the interview. Really.
