I can't stop checking my email...

It’s become an obsession! I’ve always got my gmail open in a window on my desktop and I literally check every two minutes to see if anyone is responding to a pitch or resume. If I don’t get at least three emails an hour, I freak out and get all upset. I seriously need to relax a little.

I had a second interview for the Assistant Editor position this morning. Once again, I’m trying not to get my hopes up, but I think it went really well. I did some research on the mags topic before hand and tried to throw a few facts out there. I made it clear that I was no expert but instead focused on the fact that I can adapt well to various topics. Hopefully they’ll see that! Lets keep our fingers crossed.

I just found out that, through a family member, I have a pretty strong connection at a regional mag here in the city. I can’t believe I didn’t know about this until now, everyone in my family has known about my plot to take the magazine industry by storm. It came up in a casual conversation and I’m not really sure how to use the information. I let my family member know I was really interested in working at the mag (it would be a DREAM) and she said she’d see what she could do. I’ve never had a connection like this before, am I going about it the right way?
