Hurry Up and Wait!
I've been going on a number of interviews lately and receiving phone calls from various potential employers. I interviewed with News 12, a local news channel, for a position as a director. The man I interviewed with felt I'd be better suited for a position as a producer (I agree) so he's sending my resume to the production department. I'll check in on that tomorrow. I interviewed with A&E for a position as a library technician. I'm waiting to hear back from them. In this business, the saying "Don't call us, we'll call you" applies. I've called people that have said that, and they aren't kidding. "NO PHONE CALLS!" and they hang up. I received a call from a local radio station about an unpaid internship. I can't accept that position because 1) I don't want to work in radio and 2) I need to be paid. Although, I feel obligated to take it. I've done things under obligation before and it never turns out well, so I just have to say "No" and trust that I'm doing the right thing. Also, I received a call from WWE (yes, that's World Wrestling Entertainment) and they didn't have any positions suited for me at the time but asked me to send in an "audition tape". I asked my director what that meant exactly and he admitted that he shouldn't have sent them my resume because they usually expect the women that work there to end up scantily clad in the rink. Gee thanks! So, I guess the WWE is out. I've sent my resume to NBC. They are definitely a "Don't call us" company. I've even emailed and snail mailed them and they don't like that. Submit your resume and be done with it. So, who knows if I'll ever hear back from them. I've sent out my voice-over demo to a number of agencies in Manhattan and nothing. Are you feeling as frustrated as me yet? I am also going to send my resume to the YES Network (home of the Yankees). I want to put together a demo tape for hosting but so far the people I've contacted to interview have dropped the ball. I'm trying to be persistent and not lose my determination. Please pray for me in this. That I would press on and trust that God has the right job out there for me and that He would provide it at the right time. Thanks to everyone who has been praying for me and encouraging me--I really appreciate it. Hopefully, the next time I write I'll have more positive news.

Your mom has helped us soooo much and we appreciate that a lot. We miss you but want you to keep knocking on those doors..love you lots! Aunt Patii
Hey you. I always enjoy reading your updates. We have been praying nightly for you and it is good to know what to pray for specifically. Them's a lot of doors you've been knockin' on. It is comforting to know that God has a plan for you and that you desire His will and not your own. I'm proud! :) The wrestling one sounds cool...just kidding. :) You know, God does have you there for a reason...there is comfort in that too. Miss seeing you around here. Look forward to the next blog that is entitled "A Good Thing Is Worth Waiting For"...something like that. Alright you...Godspeed..Love, debbie
I'm voting for the News 12 producer spot! That sounds good. I'm basically in the same spot you are ... applying for jobs until they run out my ears, so I feel your pain! Keep on keeping on! :O)
Hi my dear determined G-daughter, they say you can't keep a good girl down, and you are proving that by your continual striving for your goal. Just hang in there, don't get discouraged, keep the faith and God will open the doors He has planned for you. Remember, you only lose, if you don't try. So no matter what, you have already won. Love ya, G-ma
