The Jobs
Dear one and all,
Well after only a few days with the visa in hand I went on the job hunt. It’s funny when things like this happen; jobs seem to fall into your lap. I’ve got a mate who is a manager at a surf clothing shop and she needed some help. Just good for a bit of cash and a good way to ease my way back into the world of work without too much brain power being used up! Got to take these things slowly!!! Well I went down to meet my mates boss and ended up getting the job, the company is based about 20mins away from where I live so its pretty local and the hours are 9 – 5 which is easy.
Well that’s just the first stage of the job hunt… now comes the interesting bit that I left the last entry on with such a cliffhanger! To all of you that know me, you all knew that I left London to go and try and do something a little different with my life. Now that really doesn’t/didn’t mean work in a surf shop instead of an office. I was trying to get away from the office lifestyle and do something that I love and try and get paid for the pleasure…
With that in mind, another opportunity fell into my lap. A mate of mine is the production manager for the 3rd biggest publisher in Australia. He gave me a contact name of the chief photographer to get in contact with. So I did. I dropped him an email with a little bit about me, trust me, it was filled with lots of white lies and padded out to the extreme but low and behold, the guy got back in touch with me and asked me to go and meet with him yesterday.
As luck would have it, I have managed to BLAG a job as a freelance photographer for the same company that publishes Vogue and GQ. Now if that is not absolutely hysterical, I can’t tell you what else is! I’m completely pooing myself for my first job which may be as soon as this week!
I don’t want to get too carried away at the moment and to be honest I wasn’t going to write to you all and tell you just yet but I couldn’t contain myself!!! Let’s just hope that I manage to pull this off and take some good photos so they ask me back again!!
So that’s the update for now, I’m sure they’ll be one very soon with either good or bad news to come!
