The Beginning of the End

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog! With this being my first post I thought I would do a little introduction and what I hope to achieve with this throughout the semester. My name is Annie Bettag and I am a senior at Bradley University. I'm from St. Louis, Missouri and I will be graduating a year earlier than I should because of all the credit hours I had coming in to college. For those who saw that I was from St. Louis and immediately wondered what high school I went to, it was Ursuline Academy. For those who didn't wonder that, just disregard.

Anyway, this is the start of the end of my college career and I have had a blast so far, but the real work is just beginning. I plan to move back to St. Louis and work for a company where I can do some type of video production. I am a Television Arts Major and really enjoy creating and bringing visions to life. Eventually I would like to open my own production company and work to make St. Louis another hub for TV and movie making.

This semester I have many goals. First, I plan on starting a Fiverr account to gain more experience with editing and build on my portfolio. If anyone needs any editing done hit me up and I will do my best to work with you and help out! Next, I am very passionate about living a healthy lifestyle. I have been working out for about two years now and I have recently started to learn and perfecting healthy meals. I hope to build on my knowledge of exercise and food and grow in that area of my life both physically and mentally. Finally, I will be applying to jobs over this semester and I hope to write about that journey and potentially the outcome. These are a few of the things I will be talking about throughout this blog. There will be ups and down, serious and funny posts, personal and random, really anything that comes to mind that I believe is worthy to document. I look forward to writing about my adventures this semester and hope you all enjoy!

New Website!

This week I have been so productive! As stressful as it has been and still is I have gotten so much done and I just finished my portfolio website! I have been working on piecing together all of my past work so that I have everything in one place and can send it out to employers! I have applied to two jobs so far this week and I want to apply to at least three more by the end of the week! This has been a project weighing over my head for a while but now that I have my reel, website, resume, and cover letter completed I am able to easily pump out those applications for after graduation! Deciding to graduate a year early was such an amazing decision! I am so ready to move on and thrive in the real world! I have copied the link below if anyone would like to take a look at my portfolio website! www.akbettag.wixsite.com/portfolio

Job Interview

Last week I got an email inviting me to sign up for a time for a job interview! I was super excited because the marketing is rough right now and I was starting to get a little down. I did the assessments that were required, answered a few questions in the best way I could to show my personality and signed up for a time. The job is a Community Manager job for a relatively new company and if I got it I would, as they have said, "be the face of the company on social media." That makes me a bit nervous but also very excited at the same time. I had the interview today and I think it went pretty well. It was very quick but it was nice to get experience interviewing for jobs and makes me feel more prepared and excited for interviews to come! I am continuing to apply places and look forward to hearing back from more and more people! To all the other seniors who are looking for jobs just know we are all in the same boat. Keep that determination and you will ...

Here's to the final blog post

Well everyone we made it! We are finishing up our last assignments, checking things off the to do list, and counting down the final days to graduation. I was hoping I would have a definite answers to whether or not I have a job for after graduation but I believe that will come this Friday as I am was told I had the final two and then was contacted to set up a meeting with the founder of the company! I am very excited about it however I have another job I applied to that I am hoping to hear back from as it is my dream start job! Whatever comes my way I will talk it as an opportunity to grow in my skills and learn new ones! Good luck to everyone whether you are graduating or still have a year or two of college left. Follow your dreams and always look for opportunities to grow and learn! Try to look for the positive in everything! Graduation here I come!!!
