I applied for a writing position at a couple of cool online news/events/fashion writing stuff things. I think I would be a good candidate because I am so articulate. Now one of the websites I applied to is following me on Twitter, which I was initially excited about because I'm hoping that means they have at least some interest in me and want to see how I write otherwise. Thats just my thoughts, call me crazy, but its more promising than not being followed right?
Pressure's on though now because all I tweet about is farts (for real, I had to delete a tweet about lactose intolerance because it was just too much). Also, I don't know how to use the internet, and my attempts to send them my CV were proof of that. First, none of the email links on their new website were functional, nor was their general address. I had to resort to tweeting at them to get their attention. They responded by telling me to "DM" them my CV. Great. Awesome. Except I had no idea what that meant. I had to look it up on the search engine Google, maybe you've heard of it, and apparently it stands for direct message. So I messaged their Facebook page. Is that not the most social media-y job application process you have ever heard of?
Hopefully it makes me stand out. And then hopefully my writing makes me stand out (for the better) even more. I'm relying on my Twitter account, therefore I need to start tweeting about events and stuff. First step figure out how to properly use @'s and #'s. And no more details about gastrointestinal processes.
