Indeed, Steph - I've moved my stuff to private and am thinking about other social networking places that might have an impact.
I am a marketing major, and my greatest challenge (for my brain, apparently) is that I'm moving. I've got quite the healthy network here in SoCal, yet it seems there's a disconnect between them and the Rocky Mountain region. I have extensive writing experience between my work experience and internships I've completed, so I am angled toward something in communications though I'm also looking to diversify my experience, so I'm up for anything.
Alex, I've given the lower wages and getting stuck thing some thought. I'm actually thinking it's a sacrifice I could make to get some more time under the ever popular job ad term "3+ years of experience in" blah blah blah.
Thanks, everyone, for your input. The funniest part is that I know all of this stuff, and it's what I would say to someone else... I probably just had a need to hear it applied to myself. Bleh. So self-centered...
So, should I just apply for the job, or approach them in other ways?
