Earlier this month, I was offered an internship at STATE PR in NYC.
Contrary to my impulsive thoughts and behavior, I actually sat this through and weighed heavily the pros and cons of moving so unexpectedly without financial stability. For three consecutive days, I prayed and cried out to the Lord. I struggled to be heard and was desolate. By the grace of God, He heard my prayers and delivered an immediate answer.
I had a second phone interview with my boss after the weekend passed and explained to her about my current situation. To my surprise, she offered to let me intern for a month (in LA) with an event that will unfold during 2/28-3/1. My timing was absolutely perfect. If her PR agency was not involved with this particular event in LA, I may have missed an amazing opportunity to work in this field. I didn't have to sacrifice this internship due to my impossible circumstances to relocate to NYC. God surely provides.
This is the event that I'm helping out with:
I've been researching/creating/editing press releases, invitations, advertorials and contacting various publications and editorials. It's a strenuous job, but I'm learning so much about this industry already. Plus, I've been networking with a few editors from our publication contacts.
Lo and behold, I landed my second internship at Para ti Novia.
I am a style and trend writer for this wedding and fashion editorial in LA. I have two weeks to research and cover 3 article topics: the most popular style of wedding gowns requested from brides all over the world, top 5 trends for spring bridesmaid dresses, and current best designers in the industry.
It's going to be hectic and tiring to juggle work and three different internships (I also write for Joonbug and keep in touch with the editors from NYC), but I'm so grateful and happy for everything that has happened in such a short time frame.
I am one lucky girl. :)
