Applying for jobs after graduation has been a challenging full-time job in itself. I'm fairly certain that I've applied for every job from Louisville to Miami and the call-backs have been few and far between. Although I've only been out of school for a short two months, I've gotten more and more desperate to start my career with each new day.
To make matters more complicated, I've just found out that I may have a chance of a lifetime to work abroad in Grantham, Lincolnshire, UK. During my last semester at Western Kentucky University, I worked as the Public Relations Coordinator at a student-run advertising and public relations agency, Imagewest. Each summer, a team is chosen to travel abroad to work for an international client and help them with their advertising and branding. This year, the client is Harlaxton Enterprises and I would have the chance to spend an entire month living on Harlaxton Manor!
Now for my dilemma: I'm a free-spirited traveler at heart, but there's also a part of me that feels that I need to get the show on the road and jump into a career. Since I have to apply for a chance to be a part of the summer team, there's always a chance I won't get it. However, I've still been tossing and turning about whether or not I wanted to fill out an application to go. The application is due this Monday and time is ticking.
The trip isn't until June and the student loan people, along with other bill collectors, still expect payment. If I decide to fill out the application to go to England, but then get called in for an interview with an awesome job, what then? Since I've scattered applications across the South (I'm not a cold-weather person), there's a strong possibility that may very well happen. Either way, I have a lot to consider!
