Well after the conclusion of my internship with The Bradford Group, I decided to end work for good at least up until the end of the summer and leading into classes at Northwestern University in the fall. I really wanted to focus on my own independent online business and to work hard on my studies to get my gpa up before graduating next year. Unfortunately, that decision lasted about a week before I was back up searching for jobs on Craigslist and Monster. Why? Well the main reason was because I’m visiting California in September and I’m basically broke as of now. Sadly, it seems that money is required to have a little fun these days and some quick cash would really be nice. *hint hint* Also, for some reason I love applying for jobs and seeing what I can get, although I know I’ll hate waking up and actually going to the job. I guess it’s all just a game to me.
Anyway, I interviewed with a company called Flair Interactive, which is an Internet consulting group, and got the job. (Yeah!) Basically, they consult for clients of all different sizes including Northern Trust, McDonald’s, General Electric, and McGraw-Hill among others. They specialize in web-related things like interface design, content strategy, information architecture, usability, etc. My role is Assistant Content Manager for Northern Trust and I’ll be working on-site at the Northern Trust Company headquarters helping out with an intranet redesign project. Pretty cool, eh? I got a huge pay increase as well.
