moodyskydiver 0 #1 November 26, 2008 Yesterday I went into the newspaper office where I work to turn in some photos from an article I'd written and had a pleasant surprise waiting on me. The Marketing Director who mentioned me for this job pulled me aside and said that the guy, who is our main photographer, is moving on to other things in his career now that hes the Assistant Editor.So that leaves a full-time photographer's position open. The M.D. is backing me really heavily to the Editor so that I get the full-time position because I'm one of the few people who is a competent photographer besides the Editor and Assistant Editor.She said I might know something as soon as today on whether the Editor agrees with her and wants me on board full-time!Woohoo! I know its still in the works but I'm very hopeful that I'm going to get this position.This would be SO great for me since I only have one more class next semester before I graduate in May. I was blown away that I had people pushing for me to get this job.I thought I'd been flying under the radar since no one really noticed my work...or so I thought.So this was definitely a nice surprise.everyone cross your fingers and say a prayer for me!

moodyskydiver 0 #13 November 26, 2008 Well I have a *little* more info than I had this aftrernoon. I talked to our Marketing Director earlier and she said that she did speak with the Editor and I'm going to be getting more money and more time pushed my way.She couldnt go into detail because the Assistant Editor came up about that time and she didnt want him knowing I'm trying to get his old job I guess. So shes supposed to call me back any minute.I dont know how much more time and money yet because the details arent completely ironed out yet but any more time and money is a good thing right now.I'll update when I have more info.*fingers still crossed* "...just an earthbound misfit, I."

moodyskydiver 0 #15 November 26, 2008 Yeah, my mom has been super proud of me for working as a newspaper writer/photographer so she's been cutting out all my articles and putting them in a scrapbook for me.I'll eventually get around to mounting them on good cardstock so that it looks more professional in a portfolio.
