October Breeze + Interviews

Beautiful Autumn Leaves

I was walking home and I noticed all the beautiful vibrant colours on the trees. The leaves were red, yellow, green and orange. I love fall because it’s not too hot and it’s not too cold. The only reason I dislike it is because it’s before winter and I hate winter! I’ve been living in Canada my whole life and I honestly cannot stand the cold weather.

On Tuesday, I went to an Apple Store hiring session and man, it was INTENSE. I couldn’t believe the amount of people over 40 that applied for a part-time job at the Apple Store. I learned that most of the older people were laid off due to recession. While sitting in the crammed room with a group of thirty people, I realized how much I didn’t need the job. It would be nice to get the job but the chance of me getting the job is so slim. Plus the older people need it more than I do.

I had an informational interview yesterday at Oddly Studios and it went really well. It is a small interactive media agency. Tim Willison, the director of Oddly Studios was so helpful, nice and really easy to chat with. I learned so much about interactive media and the industry. When I asked, “What is the most important thing to know when going into the industry?” he said “Be humble and always keep learning”. A great quote to think about especially for people who are going into the advertising industry.

I can’t believe that reading week is almost over already. It went by so fast and I still have a lot of work to finish up! Halloween is soon and I think I’m going to go as a Princess. It’s lame but easy to be.
