My name's Shannon. I'm a 21 year old recent college graduate from the state of Maine. I'm pretty goofy, sarcastic and I'm obsessed with The Office. On DeviantArt I'm mostly a vexel artist, although I have dabbled in photomanipulation. Feel free to watch me, comment or note me.


I have a job interview this afternoon. This is my first real job interview, so as you'd expect I'm a bit nervous. And of course they give me less than a day's notice before the interview. Since 4pm yesterday I've been scrambling around putting together a little print portfolio and trying to get rid of an enormous zit on the side of my head.

This job is for a design position for a little local newspaper. It's just 15 minutes away and it's only 25 hours a week, so I could do some freelance work as well. Of course right after I got the call for this interview monster.com found a listing for basically my dream job. I applied, but we'll see what happens with that.

So I guess things are going alright.

EDIT:
Update on the job front.

So I went to the interview. I could tell within 15 minutes I REALLY didn't want this job. It's all InDesign work (InDesign + me = mortal enemies), it's tedious and repetitive, and on Tuesdays I'd have to work for 12 hours. Yeah, no thank you.

Of course the reaction from my parents was basically if I got the job I'd have to take it.

So of course what happens? I get the job. They just called and told me to come in tomorrow. 25 hours a week for $15.50 an hour - and they're expecting me to stay for a while.

The good news is I guess this makes me a real "graphic designer" now. And I have money, which is always good.

I shouldn't feel pissed off but I really do.
