It's Interview Season So To Speak

Earlier today I got interviewed for an alumni write up by my middle school. Yeah I'm young enough to still be connected to it, and old enough to be considered a success story.

It was funny because at one point they asked what advice I had for St. Iggy students. I said two things a) "be prepared" and b) "take things one day at a time". I said the first because if it's one thing going to a Jesuit, all boys school taught me (through competition) was to always be prepared for both the challenges and the opportunities which presented themselves.

At the same time taking things a day at a time allows two things. It allows one not to be overwhelmed by life's challenges, and it also allows one to savor life's opportunities and life's great moments.

Boy if I wish I could just take my own advice.

After the interview I hopped in the car and went to work.

Work was blah the usual. I wrote a few stories for the 4 and 5 o'clock shows.

Then I hopped in the car and went to interview for a freelance position. The opporunity is one I'd love to have. It would allow me to blog and write articles for print and web publication. I think my interview went well, though when anxiety, nervousness, and a slight bit of excitement set in my hands got cold and clammy.

Even though they probably think me a slight bit awkward, I think the interview went well. I hope I get it. I definitely want to continue in journalism as a multimedia journalist. Freelancing might also allow me to pursue my other passions.

Those who know me know I'm a man of multiple passions, a man of many talents, and a man with much to be grateful for.

Ciao!
