Let Me Give You a Tour!

If you click here (and look at the picture) you can see where I work! That sounds weird. Over the last few days I heard about, applied for, and was accepted for a job writing for a car blog which I follow.

The application was fairly simple but took a few days to put together. Although simple and probably not very exciting to most people, this represents a lot for me. It is a stepping stone towards my dream career. It allows me to learn from people and experience. I fully believe that experience is the best way to get better at something.

From the few things that I know about my new bosses/coworkers we have some things in common, least of which is our enjoyment of analyzing General Motors. This time of year is always particularly exciting for the car industry because of the NAIAS (see previous post), which is arguably the most important American auto show. This makes the timing of my new job even more exciting to me.

So here's the bedside version. After work on Friday night I got home and stayed up for a while futzing around online while watching TV. My RSS feed showed a new post from GMA (which along with Facebook, Autoblog, and Twitter I had already checked in the last fifteen minutes) announcing available positions. I got really excited and decided to go out on a limb the next morning and apply. I'm an early riser but stayed in bed until 1 on Saturday working on my app. Then on Sunday I modified existing resumes and wrote a cover letter. By Sunday night I had heard back! I'll have a skype meeting tomorrow (well, later today) and go from there!

Luckily for you this probably means you won't have to hear about cars in person, 'cus I'll get my fill of it online. I can't promise to eliminate all car posts from the blog though :p
