My face gets red when I'm nervous.

I had a job interview yesterday at a place called Digital Kitchen.  A production company with offices in four cities across the US that specializes in extremely polished and well constructed visual pieces incorporating music and tons of post-production and graphic design.  My dad used to work with one of the executive producers at the place and he

so we'll obviously talk about this more later, but one interview tip i can offer up to you is to use this phrase A LOT: "i'm a quick learner and an enthusiastic one at that." another good one in the same vein is: "i might not have the exact amount of experience you're looking for, know that in terms of having an ego or having a stringent way of doing things isn't imbedded in my constitution; i want to do work for you the way YOU want me to." etc.

by no means are those dead locks, but when high with one of my bosses recently he quoted me saying both those things and said that's more or less what got me the job. also, don't be nervous about moving on to a more "legit" place (i use that term really loosely)...i mean, you're going to do fine, you're smart, personable, and handsome to boot!

anyway, don't think about this very much. job opportunities are going to come and go for you forever, so don't waste time dwelling and ridding yourself with anxiety. also, remember what you said to me? "digital kitchen seems great, but at dave they let me write which is what i really want to do." if that's a 100% true statement, then methinks you're golden, broski.

i will say that i think i basically reworded both of those statements yesterday. i remember saying something about understanding that this was the point in my career when i was entirely prepared to pay my dues and work hard and all that. and i think i also said that while there are certainly things i don't know, there should never be a question of how hard i will work and that i enjoy learning about the business.

anyway. i can't wait to see you buddy. if for no other reason than it means blair won't get mad at me for buying a pack of cigarettes.
