I Could Squash You Like A Blog Right Now!

Congratulations. You're now reading blog posts from three hours in the future, as long as you're reading in New York (or Pennsylvania, or Delaware, or Maryland, or Connecticut, or Vermont, or New Hampshire, or Mississippi, but maybe not that one...)

My first day of career hunting went a little sour. Let's be blog. I mean, blunt. Getting hired for money is hard when hordes of students are looking to do the same job for free (or school credit). I don't know what I expected... "Oh, you say you want to work on Spider-Man 4? Why, you can just give us your name and we'll pass that right along to the right Magical People You Don't Know and they'll call you when they're ready to start shooting!"

Instead, it looks like -- as of now -- I'm on my own. I can "start" handing out resumes to production companies, if only I knew which ones were making movies and how to contact them. My internship company recommends "working for free for a few months" to build networks. Building a network is great, but living in a house and eating food sounds even better... I'm still saving my trump card -- a man named Mike Kehoe -- for possible big studio work, and if all else fails, I have my ultimate secret weapon: Cory Edwards and his upcoming Fraggle Rock movie, which I hope to have secured my position on if and when it ever reaches its production phase.

I've got some house hunting to do in the meanwhile, so I'm afraid the job search will have to wait a week or so. :<
