How many jobs have you had in the past five years? Where and what did you do?
Submitted by M.
I’ve had three jobs in the past five years:
The State News – I worked at The State News the entire time I was in college. I applied the day I moved into my dorm my freshman year. I spent three years as an account executive, and my junior year I served a one year term as advertising manager. I met some of my best friends there (and my boyfriend), and traveled to Miami, Seattle, New Orleans, and Orlando. It would have been a 100% positive experience if the general manager had not been 100% Pure Evil.
Wharton Center for Performing Arts – My senior year at MSU I was also a graphic designer for our university’s awesome performing arts center. It was a 100% positive experience, and they offered me a full time job right before I graduated. Unfortunately, I needed to get the heck out of Michigan. I love Michigan, but needed to experience something else for a while. Additionally, Michigan has the 49th worst unemployment rate and economy in the country. 50th is Katrina-destroyed Louisiana.
(not allowed to say on my blog) – I’m an interactive producer for “a company.” I’m not supposed to mention the name on any blog, lest you think that my opinions represent my company’s opinions. Why my company would want to hide the fact that it loves tacos, a good book, and watching Gilmore Girls, I’ll never know. When I first started I was an Associate Producer, which (in combination with moving away to a big city on my own) made me feel very Mary Richards. I’m still looking for Rhoda. My boss’s name is Lou though. And I throw my cap in the air on the way to work every day.
