Princess Charming

I'm wiggling with excitement. I followed the nudging of my intuition yesterday and applied for a job, just to see what happens. It's a very visible PR position, and I would rock at it so much better than anybody else. Speechwriting, editing, writing publications, technical writing, and media relations. It's my dream job.

If there is one thing I'm awesome at, it's information compilation/summarization. It's all I did for years as a researcher; read lengthy articles I didn't necessarily understand, picked out what I judged to be the important bits, and then recompiled the information into a form that my boss could easily handle. My judgment was never questioned - I was tailored to do this well, and she wouldn't have anybody else. She was quite out-of-sorts when I graduated.

The position requires hard work with little supervision, tight deadlines, night/weekend work... Awesome. I'm so jazzed. I need to feel valued, important, in the thick of things...! Can't get my hopes up!

Still. I'm the best. They aren't going to find anybody better, even in this job market. I've got a bachelor's degree in Public Communication, a bachelor's in Information Systems, a master's in Public Administration. No mere journalism major can touch me. And even if somebody applies who has more PR experience than I, I'm simply more charming. It's a fact. ;)
