Hollywood Manager - Last summer, my friends introduced me to the show Entourage. Partially based on Mark Wahlberg's life, it follows a rising Hollywood star and his friends. However, my favorite character was the manager, Eric. His job description includes hanging out with celebrities, enjoying an extravagant lifestyle, and handling all the money issues. My only problem is that none of my friends are aspiring movie stars. If you are, call me up.
White House Speechwriter - Politics has always been a hobby of mine, but I didn't want to invest hours every day reading the news. Watching most of The West Wing last semester turned that hobby into a hobby I know something about. Sam is one of my favorite characters, and I could totally do his job. As a member of the speech team and an econ major, I'd be perfect as an economic speechwriter. I use that line during job interviews.
Secret Agent - Okay, I'm not British, named James Bond, or in peak physical shape. But I still dream about being a spy, like Michael from Burn Notice. This category includes similarily talented TV characters like Jack Bauer, Shawn from Psych, and the cast of Chuck.Can you detect a pattern among these characters? The first two have marketing-related jobs. And if you can do the math, you can guess that I'm looking for a job in marketing.
And that leads to the purpose of this blog. People tell me that writing a blog really helps in the job search. Yes, I love expressing myself and getting attention for it, but let's be honest - this is also a way for me to show off for potential employers. Here, I will chronicle my job search, collect crazy writings, and occasional muse about the marketing and PR fields. Let's hope I find a job before I get ideas from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
