Today, my editor said: "If I had a vacancy, you would have had a job by now" ahhhhh!!!
I both love it and hate it; it's great to hear her say something like that and actually mean it, but on the other hand, there are only two journalists and they love their jobs so much that they're never going to leave!!!!!!
For the final two days of the week at Insight magazine, we were constantly rushed, making phone calls, writing generals, writing editorials, sending editorial proofs, sending design proofs, and generally making sure the magazine was in top notch to send off to print. It was pretty manic and there was a lot of writing and checking and interviewing to do, but I loved it!!
That 750-word piece on the Candy Spa that I sent over to proof was loved so much that, added with a good pitch from our sales execs, the owner bought 4 pages of space for next week's edition! Contributing towards selling £3k worth of space was a proud moment!
I've really loved this week at Insight, it's given me a great insight (ha ha!) into the workings of a magazine, and I'm grateful that I was given all of the tasks that I was. They got me working hard! And the best bit was, I didn't have to say goodbye, because I'm back there on Tuesday and Wednesday next week! Yay!
