What this woman wants

I'm sitting here alone on a Sunday night watching a chick flick, What Women Want. It's one of my favourite movies and is the movie that has driven me into my career path. The movie was filmed in Chicago, what I like to call a mini version of New York City.

A few weeks ago, our class ended the year on a trip to Chicago. I had a great time. I spent a lot of time sightseeing and shopping. The city is extremely gorgeous and although I have always dreamed of living in a big city and working for an advertising agency, I never ever thought it possible.

I am currently working for a great company working on online advertising and marketing for car dealerships nation-wide. And although my position isn't as glamourous as working in a tall skyscraper in a city as vast as Chicago, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to grow and learn.

I understand that you can't expect to graduate and bam, your dream job appears on your lap. I know I have to work towards it. One day I will get there. Whether I move up or move on. I take pride in knowing that I've gotten this far and am curious to see how far I can go.

One regret I have, is not seeing more while in Chicago. I didn't visit nearly enough agencies, especially Sloane Curtis where What Women Want was filmed (the building has been mentioned in more then one movie).
