While writing this I'm in Starbucks on the corner of Lexington and 96th street. I just accidentally glanced at my neighbour's computer screen and he was on a website called "Flirting With Models". His identity shall remain anonymous, but I wish him the best of luck.
I've been in New York for almost three days now, and as expected it feels like home. So good to be back! This post will be the first in the series I have twitterly titled #DearNewYork #HireMe (DNYHM). So let's hope it doesn't go on for too long eh...!
I have three interviews tomorrow so I headed down to Fifth and bought some interview appropriate attire today. I don't know how appropriate it is though considering I spent nearly 12 months locked away in a computer lab wearing colour combinations that would make Anna Wintour question her entire career. I've definitely toned it down but there's no black in sight so I hope these guys tomorrow can handle it!
First stop at 11am is The Tap Music, an online community devoted to the creation, discovery, and support of quality music. This is the one I want the most so that's why I made them a little animation, watch it here.
After that I'm heading downtown to the guys at Vizlingo, a start up operating out of NYC and Silicon Valley with a concept based on a messaging tool that translates your words into video. Well keen to ask these guys some questions.
Final stop for the day at 5pm is Shecky's down in Soho. Judging by the look of the website it's not something I'd usually go for, but their ad was well good. And if they are willing to take on someone answering their list with "this is a plus skills" with the following is definitely worth talking to:
Pro Tools - Hammers and stuff? Check!
Photography - I own a camera, check!
Videography - I sometimes film stuff using my ipod.... check?
Bookkeeping - I have bookshelves.
Spelling - I tink I can spells fairly god.
Creative/artistic abilities of all sorts - Endless. Like, seriously.
Competitive athletics - Show jumping! (That's on horses.)
Dog walking - Mad walking skills, check! Check! Check!
(Sarcasm win.)
Right, I'm gonna do my research now. I've got two hours left until Starbucks shuts so. Something I've learnt during these three days is that you have to get below 100th street to get decent wifi. The free wifi at the hostel is free because it doesn't work. That's lovely.
I will update you on my hopefully successful day tomorrow evening. I shall also stick to my promise of telling you about my failures as much as my conquests. If I fuck up, you will know! Laugh, cry and cringe people!
Later!
