I recently landed a great job to prove myself with, with the possibility of returning business. 4-page promo brochure for a company in Blacksburg. I was excited for the possibility, and after about two or three weeks of waiting for info to start, I dove into it. It's quite fun to discover my own work process. It needs a huge amount of refining and discipline, but that comes with time and experience. The job has been going well, and I'm close to done with my second idea after about 10 hours of work or so. Rock on.
After I landed this job and worked for a while, I realized that all my efforts this summer have been leading to a freelance career. My internship was for a couple who worked for themselves, and a lot of what I learned from them was about freelance business. I got some great chances to network myself to local companies, and they turned out great. I haven't been putting a lot of effort into my full-time job search either, but that's mainly because I need to have a really tight self-presentation. I need better work, and a really slick web presence. Slowly, but surely, it's getting there. Speaking of web stuff, teaching myself html is a blast so far, and I'm slowly picking that up too. Working on this blog was a good chance to practice. Everything web is just fascinating.
I don't think I'd mind having a 9-to-5, salary gig, but at this point I'm more successful on my own. I just think it's interesting how it all worked out, even before I graduated. This just makes figuring out what to do with life a little more complicated. I'd love to get out and move somewhere else for a while, but there just seems to be more going on for me right here.
