waiting for my rocket to come;
Had an interview yesterday for White Dove Vintage; nearly got lost on the way there. It was off the Graham Ave. stop on the L train, in Brooklyn. I eventually found it, and the woman behind White Dove, June, let me in. She basically asked me things like if I was a student, where I go to school, what experience I have in terms of photoshop/social networking. She was really nice, and seemed extra glad that I had extensive previous experience with the blogging world; she said that she'd initially tried to promote the company through a tumblr, but that it didn't work out, and they're considering Wordpress.
I even listed the differences between Wordpress and Tumblr (the main one being that the latter is short-form and more image-based blogging), and their pros and cons, and told her that she could try cross-platform blogging, and post images on tumblr, linking them to the main blog. I think she was impressed. I had already sent her a link to my blog, along with my resume, so she'd noted that not only did she find my blog cute, but that my knowledge of such would definitely be an asset.
I should hear back by Monday or Tuesday -- fingers crossed!
In the meantime, trying to get into study mode, but spent most of the day asleep, as I'd been so exhausted from trekking all the way to Brooklyn. I didn't even get to go to the Hunter Radio Station's 50s Dance party thing last night, and the outfit I'd worn to the interview would have been SO perfect for it, too. Again, was too tired, and didn't have anyplace to wait at until the party, since no one was at OTR and I have virtually no key anymore ever since they changed the security measures and switched to card-swiping, access to which has been limited to only "top officers" (president, vice-pres, treasurer, etc.). STUPID IDEA, if you ask me.
Anyway. If you want more visual takes of my status updates, you can now go to http://robo.to/residentartist.
(if you're really that bored, that is.)
