The Virgin Post

Hello to all reading this!!! (and yes the title of this post was done with my tongue planted firmly in my cheek LOL)
This is Theresa...so Lauren and I put our ever so busy heads together and decided to collaborate on a blog...So I guess I'm first up to bat...
The first one is always the hard one....but I'm going to keep a little brief until I have something a bit more substantial go run with. Its storming outside so I should be able to get deep because my mind seems to really work well in inclimate weather. What that means.... I have no idea...maybe I'm as deep as I often like to think that I am.. LOL! A little bit about me goes like this...I'm anspiring broadcast journalist. I've just graduated from school the illustrious(or so they'd have us believe) University of Tennessee...where I got an education on all fronts...but more on that later. I previously worked as president of the schools TV station where I was fortunate enough to do a little bit of everything. And I simultaneously worked as an Associate Producer at WATE-6News...I wrote it out just like that because I had to spend the better part of my days answering the phones rattling that off!! I've moved back home and I have begun the grueling yet exciting task of applying for on-air jobs...I say grueling because the process goes something like this....1.) Look for an opening 2.) Apply for said opening 3.) Type up some super fabulous cover letter that will wow them on the spot without even having met you 4.) Print out resume 5.) Burn copy of Demo Reel 6.) Place label on demo reel that corresponds to the job I am applying for 7.) Label large envelope that will be sent to station containing coverletter, resume, and demo reel 8. Place my picture and contact info inside the cover for my demo reel then put inside evelope 9.) Mail off package and hope for the best This is pretty much my daily ritual which I have come to love.........Okay so I'm gonna end this post for now and I will be back later today with something far more interesting to post.
Oh and I am going to add my demo reel to the site for anyone who's curious....also this is my starter version this isn't my best one this one has a few editing errors so bare with me....oh and you might catch my real name...since Theresa is just my middle name....
Also I think Lauren will be up next to bat with her virgin post LOL.....(my weird sense of humor)
