Late Nights…

So, it is 2:30 in the morning and guess what I’m doing!

You know, there comes a time in the job search process when you have to sacrifice something.  I have chosen to sacrifice sleep tonight in order to expand the possibility of getting a job!  I have been on the internet for the past two hours cruising through company websites, finding contacts and sending emails in hopes of getting some sort of response.

On a whim, I decided to look for a list of advertising and public relations companies in Wichita.  I found one posted on the internet that ended up being five pages long!!  That’s encouraging, considering I had only heard of three advertising firms in Wichita prior to this list.  Granted, some of the places listed are graphic design firms, printing companies and individuals trying to get work, but most of the places are looking like real chances!  They are small firms that do some great work, while seeming to maintain a high level of quality and ethics.  That is exactly the type of place I am looking for.  I want to be apart of a great company, because who you work with and what they do is sometimes more important than the salary they offer.  Going through these companies, it is interesting to see the logos of some famous companies having been designed by that particular firm.

When I took on my internship last summer, it all started with a simple and random email asking about any openings.  I’m hoping to strike it rich with the same technique this time around.  What’s the worst that can happen??  Are they going to tell me no?  It’s not going to be the last time I hear that in this job search!

I think I have had enough for tonight, so I’m going to head to bed, but I thought I would update everyone!!  Does anyone have any advice or suggestions?  Have a great week!
