Job Application

I was pretty excited earlier this week when my co-worker told me about a position opening in CMU that I might be interested in. The position is in University Communications as the Assistant Director of Multimedia and Videography.

Wait...you mean I would actually be using my degree if I got this job? :) I would be dealing with video, audio, lighting, editing video, writing scripts with storyboards, producing podcasts, and other related things.

I really want to get this job!!! I re-did my resume, made a cover letter, and sent in work samples. I am not very confident that I will get the job, but I am hopeful. They prefer someone with a Master's, but it's not required. Another one of the qualifications was three years experience in the field.

Of course, another reason I want the job...money. :) My income would increase by about a third. And I would get more vacation time. I like my current job, but mostly because of the people and the lack of challenging work. But I would love a challenge in my job if it was dealing with video and writing scripts! I would be excited to go to work and be creative. I'm hoping that since I am a CMU employee, maybe that will get me an interview and I can sit down with them and explain that I really want this job and that I wouldn't let them down.
