Opportunity!!!

    Hey everyone! We are getting down to the last few posts of the year. I believe this is the second to last. With graduation getting closer and closer, I have been thinking more and more about jobs and opportunities after graduation. I have been continuously applying to jobs and connecting with people through linked and and other avenues. The other day I had a phone call with a women, Alex,  who owns her own production company in St. Louis, where I am from and moving back to. She said my resume reminded her of hers when she graduated and asked me more about my interests, goals, and dreams.

    After learning a bit more about me she informed me that she is not in the position to offer a full time job as she doesn't have the salary for it but would love to work with me and help me to build my portfolio, gain experience, and build connections. Her production company shoots videos for weddings, corporate events and businesses, and any other special moments in peoples lives. I would be given the opportunity to get my hands on the camera, to learn more about the production process, and to help edit together videos for clients. 

    This opportunity made me extremely excited as Alex mentioned a girl she works with currently who she did the same thing with. This girl now is gaining clients on her own and starting to be able to break off Alex's company and create her own. One thing Alex said was that if we want to start our own company and be our own boss, she encourages it and would love to help us get there! She understands I will also hopefully have a full time job, but will give me work when I can and help me reach my goals! I am looking forward to this opportunity and keeping an eye out for any full time job that comes my way!

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 ...

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

Changing My Mindset

      A lot has happened in the past year. At a glance, I might be compelled to rattle off all the terrible things that have happened in my life, in my family and friends lives, in the country, and even the world. That is all I have focused on. While some of those things might be a topic of a blog post in the future, that doesn't mean I am back tracking and going back to a negative mindset. I think writing about it is a great way to put your thoughts on paper, figure out how you truly feel, and then try and think of the good that came from it.      There have been so many great things that have happened this year like starting my senior year of college, hitting the one year mark with my amazing boyfriend, getting to spend more time with my family, learning to cook amazing food, and focusing on exercise. Those are all incredible things! While some of that may seem small, I choose to make it big in my mind. I want to relish in it and be grateful for wha...
