While I was always open for relocation, I really did not apply for jobs outside the Boston/Cambridge area because of commute convenience for interviews. However, now that I have several friends and relatives sprinkled throughout major cities, I can actually interview without blowing through tons of money on lodging.
In all honesty, I wouldn't mind trying to survive on my own for a little bit. If I manage to land a decent gig in New York, I would go apartment/part-time-job searching immediately after leaving the concluding interview. Of course, the part-time job is speculation, but if I need to do it to get by I will. That's not to say that I'll put any less effort into any marketing job that I can get. I'll be extremely motivated to put my all into whatever I land.

erview, I've learned a little bit more about what I should do at the next one. Yeah, I learn from my mistakes, but I also think of new creative things I can do before/during/after the interview. For my one on Monday, I've developed a creative plan so cool that I will not even disclose it in this blog. Seriously, it's top secret and wicked cool. So, if you're reading this and happen to be an employee at the company I am interviewing at this coming Monday at 2 p.m., I suggest you buy a pillow to protect your jaw for when it hits the ground. Well, I might be hyping it a little bit, but I think it's cool...

Good luck Monday! In case a potential employeer IS reading this blog, though, I might not advertise that you will be looking for a second, part time job. Many people think that entry level jobs in marketing are for greater than 40 hours a week by definition. Will you be dedicated enough if you are moonlighting on the side?
Thanks for the kind wishes and advice. In regards to the part time position, I was thinking more of a weekend position-- not one during the week that could interfere with my work schedule. Regardless, I feel that I always put my best effort into what I apply myself into. Even if I am working a 40+ hour marketing job with a part-time job on the side, I'll put my best into each one. I enjoy the perceived challenge and I'm most definitely up for it.
