There may be hope after all...
EEK! I sent my thank you note (just like you all suggested) and got called in for a second interview yesterday morning! Thankfully, I think this one went SO much better than the first! I actually got to talk a little and I think I really convinced them of why I would be absolutely perfect for the position. They even kept my portfolio this time, which is huge. They said they’d be meeting to make their decision this weekend and I’d know by next week.
One of the other companies I interviewed with last week actually called to offer me a position this afternoon, but I decided not to take it. The commute was so long, the pay was less than I make now and the job was basically the same as what I’m doing. It was actually another marketing company, which I guess I didn’t really realize until I got there. No, I’m not that dumb, the job ad made the position seem a lot different than it was.
In freelancing news, I’m so busy I can barely keep up! I’ve somehow become obsessed with money and can’t seem to say no to projects. I’m nervous that when I do get the editorial job of my dreams, the pay will be less than I make now, so I’m trying to save as much as possible. Also, I have to start paying student loans next month (ew) so I’d like to be prepared for that.
Tomorrow I present my story ideas and magazine template to the president of the company I’m freelance editing for! I’m super nervous but pretty confident that I came up with some good stuff. Like I said before, it’s basically a newsletter, just a little more flashy. Hopefully they like it…

Wow, congratulations on all this recent success and good luck. It's interesting that you've made so much more headway than any of the past bloggers, and in a drastically shorter period of time. I wonder why? Location? Maybe we should all move to Boston.
How do you find a company to freelance for? Is it all through elance, or is there other places you go to get freelance work? Im about to start loking for freelance work in a month when I start my internship, and I'd really love to know of someplaces to look for them.
Yes, please do give more insight to your freelancing experience. I too have been looking to take on more freelance work, I just have no idea how to do it. Any advice on that would be really helpful for everyone.
I would love to hear more about your freelancing work. I am also working in the marketing business but would love to move over to editorial soon and think that possibly freelancing would be a good bridge to make my dream possible. Any suggestions?
