Jobbity Goodness

Well, folks, I finally got a job. After 6 months of looking and interviewing after graduation, it's my turn. I will be at the most entry level position, receptionist, at Harcourt Trade Publishers. The person in the role before me was promoted into the publicity department after just 3 months. And while I'm told this is unusual, I have hope that it won't be much longer for me. It's an exciting house to be in, very small (only about 40 people in NYC and another 80 in San Diego). Authors in the house include Umberto Eco, Gunter Grass and current US poet laureate, Charles Simic. The house is focused on literature, rather than the expansive commercial market, which I admire. Everyone seems really friendly and the benefits package is quite nice. I start on December 3rd, so I have some time before, which will be nice to have, to finish getting the apartment together and get more settled in here. I'm looking forward to keeping you updated! Now it's time to put aside the Princess Diaries and pick up a little more challenging read...
