My Quest For Work days started approximately an hour after i got to know that I did not get in. I had applied at Indus School of Arts and Architecture, I passed the test but well, I got a Hitler for an interviewer and everyone knows how that goes. Better not to recount that sad story or I might just take up an hour or two just describing her, I'm amazed how scores of adjectives are zooming in and out of my mind, just thinking of her (ruthless, cold blooded and predator). I shall try not to get carried away.
Since November, I have been thinking non stop of writing, which is a passion of mine. I seem to have started to concentrate on how the reporters write their articles in the newspapers. Plain without feelings or emotions just facts, completely neutral. I can just imagine the rush while running on the streets along with a cameraman. Being a journalist would definately be an awesome idea. Keeping that in mind I started, non-stop, sending my CV to Dawn, the leading newspaper group in Pakistan. With my friends help, i got to know the Dawn News Channel was also looking for interns. So I found a friend who worked there, he helped me out. Hence, i submitted my CV to him, he told me its too short and i need to make it longer by adding "stuff" to it. He then told me to send it to another address (someone from the Human Resource Department). I did as was told, to receive a dead reply, which thanked me for sending my CV and informed me that there was no post left open.
While reading Devil Wears Prada, It got me thinking again about how Anne Hathaway got into an enormous firm where she did not fit and came out doing well. Me? Still wasting time, sitting at home each and every day. And I thought I should start making photocopies of my CV. And pray to God that someone might be interested in hiring an A level graduate or else be interested in letting an Alevel graduate learn from them! What could the downside be to this? Nothing worse then still sitting at home, something I think I'm getting rather good at and used to. Tomorrow is a new day and i 'will' start afresh and dropping my CV at every imaginable magazine and possible newspaper. And also check out School of Decor, which are arts classes. My life long partner one could say.
After this i started thinking of making my own mark, I thought of this amazing company, Repair On Call. Due to the rains and weird traffic congestion, there is a huge market gap that i have difficulty in believing no ones thought of. it would be so cool so go save someone from Tariq road or the very congested these days Kala Pul road. all because numerous, maybe even 80% of all Karachi roads have been dug and the damage repairs taking too long causing more damage. would it be awesome to not feel scared and drive around knowing that ME the repair on call company head has everyone back in Karachi :) maybe I'll think of expanding soon. Just need sponsoring. plus i was thinking of interning at my uncles office. he deals in purchasing and selling of cars, I'd rather get to know how cars work, in order to know how to repair them. Then i could employ a dozen or so workers who go save people for me. Ingenius!
My main feild that i hope to go for and excel in is Advertising, the creative side of it. To work for some big shot company. Making or Designing advertisments or slogans or banners. I would love to intern at some advertising agency these days when im free. Lets see what life being forth. :D
