Job search
So far...the Bay Area stinks for job availability. Anyway I have only
applied for one reporter position so far because it is the only
position I am qualified for in this area (or I feel I am qualified
for). Really it is the only reporter position I am qualified for that doesn't require an hour and a half commute.
Well I sent in the application last Wednesday and I just called to see if the Editor had recieved my application and if the position was still open. He had it on his desk and I guess the call was a good thing because it got him to give it another look over and possibly bring the application to the top of the stack (though it didn't seem like a huge stack). Anyway he was really friendly and I was pleased that he wasn't irritated that I made a follow up call about the job (sometimes newsrooms can be really fast paced and stressful and the last thing you want to do is annoy the Editor at a bad time). I'm also glad I called when I did because it manifests that I know how a newsroom works, the least stressful time is the morning at the beginning of the week. So anyway the Editor just said that they have just started reviewing the resumes and that they will start setting up interviews sometime soon, and I told him I would be interested in an interview when they were ready.
Anyway keep your fingers crossed or say your prayers for me, I would really appreciate it. I really can't take B&N for the rest of my life and there aren't anymore reporter positions posted currently.
