An Update! How rare...

Okay. Getting back on track now...I've been the process of moving from Tempe, AZ to Los Angeles and the process is finally over! I'm here! I'll post pictures below of the before and after process of moving in and decorating. My mom and dad helped move Ben and I over here on the weekend and then my mom stayed until thursday of last week [the 9th] to help us get settled in and to go to the beach! I had a lot of fun with her over here and was a little bummed when it was time for her to go. I haven't gotten to spend that much time with my mother in a long time and I really enjoyed it.

I've been here for a little over a week now and I am just starting the finding a job process. I'll admit I'm nervous. I keep finding jobs that I feel I would be great at and I keep sending emails out without responce. I am a hard worker and I am skilled at what I do. I know there are a lot of people applying for the same jobs as me that have more impressive portfolios than me. However, I know I am more than capable to produce equal quality work. My next mission, while searching for jobs, is to continue to improve my portfolio. Through out my schooling I have changed my major three times in an effort to customize my major to the education I wanted to recieve. I started out in Graphic Design and then moved to Photography. In both of these majors I got to take classes that I felt would help me be a more rounded person. I decided to finish my college career in the Design Management major which allowed me to expaned my knowledge in Marketing, Advertisment, Management and Economics. These classes, I believe helped me expand my potential from simply a designer to someone with leader potential. [Wow you can tell i've been writing a lot of letters lately...I sound like i'm trying to sell myself here! haha]

Anyway. I'm applying to more jobs today, writing more letters and hopefully getting someone to give me the opportunity to interview. I feel so comfortable in interviews...I feel like if I can just get into one then I will be able to get a job....of course I will need some proof that I am capable...so i'm going to get going on adding to that portfolio of mine!!
