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!
