Applying for Jobs

I have been working on applying to jobs for a few weeks now. It has been a bit frustrating because there isn't much open for what I want to do now. My high school has a Facebook group called UA valuable connections. It is a network of all the women who have graduated from UA. I decided the other day to make a post in it about looking for a job and wow was that a great idea.

I didn't think about it much after I hit send and three hours later I decided to check it. I was amazed! I had a DM from someone asking if I could help make a video for their organization. One of the women owns their own business and asked if I was interested in freelance work, another person mentioned a company I should look at, and there was a chain of people tagging others that eventually connected me to someone who works at a marketing company who will be a great contact to possibly get my foot in the door there!

It's been a few days now and one of the people who previously commented DMed me telling me she sent it to a friend who is an owner of a media company and he liked my stuff. He doesn't have any positions open but wanted to give some feedback! I have emailed with him and he said that my work looked great and recommended some companies he thought I would fit in great with my skill set! This has all gotten me so excited and I have made even more connections because of that one little post! I recommend reaching out to anyone and everyone because you never know what will come of it!
