I had just completed a Master\u2019s degree. Now I was learning that I needed to work for at least six months at an unpaid internship before I would even be able to compete for a full-time job? The idea was more than I could handle on the day I was supposed to be celebrating all of the painstaking work I\u2019d\u00a0already\u00a0invested in securing my future.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>But I got over it. And, it turned out, she was absolutely right. Three months after graduation, I found myself thrilled to be starting a paid, six-month internship with a market research firm in Chicago\u2014the one city in which I\u2019d always wanted to live. I marketed my research skills heavily when I interviewed for the position. Halfway into the internship, I was taking an active role in media analysis and writing reports for clients\u2014something most interns were not invited to do, but my English training set me ahead of the curve. I was able to prove myself quickly, and shortly after my internship ended, I was offered a full-time position with the company.<\/p>\n<p>Market research is all about, well, research\u2014collecting it, analyzing it, and writing about it. Sound familiar? It was simply a natural fit for me, and I learned about all kinds of industries that I probably wouldn\u2019t know much about if it weren\u2019t for my job. In fact, I became a bit of a technology geek, which came as quite a surprise to me.<\/p>\n<p>Only recently did I move on from the market research firm. Chasing after a new challenge, I recently transitioned to a search engine marketing firm, where I am learning the ropes of a completely new field, with the goal of transitioning into\u2014you guessed it\u2014the research and strategy department.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy my day job\u2014the challenges I am given, learning to master new subject matter, and spending time with great co-workers. But I have to admit, I turn to writing for my artistic sustenance outside of the office, and so I maintain a busy freelance writing schedule. With a strong background in ballet and jazz dance (my other artistic love), I have been the dance writer for\u00a0<em>Clef Notes Concert Journal for the Arts<\/em>, a small arts magazine, for two years. They actually pay me (a little) to review dance programs and interview famous figures of the dance world. I have also worked as a dance writer for GapersBlock.com, a popular Chicago blog. Recently, however, I started my own dance blog, <a href=\"http:\/\/ChicagoDanceDigest.com\/\">ChicagoDanceDigest.com<\/a>, because I wanted to do\u00a0<em>more\u00a0<\/em>of this kind of writing and interviewing, and I wanted to do it on my own terms. I spend a great deal of my free time attending dance performances, sitting in on rehearsals, interviewing choreographers and artistic directors, and keeping up with major Chicago dance news (in addition to taking dance classes, myself). On top of this, I maintain a few other paid gigs writing website content under a pen name.<\/p>\n<p>And so, here I am today in Chicago, doing what I love to do, and finding new ways to challenge myself each day. If I could leave you with one piece of \u201cwisdom\u201d I have learned since finishing my English degrees, it would be this: Don\u2019t panic if you don\u2019t land a job writing right out of the gate, and don\u2019t get down on yourself if you\u2019re still not sure what you want to do when you graduate (okay, that was two pieces of advice). You might fall in love with something that\u2019s not considered a \u201cwriting\u201d job. And if you don\u2019t, just getting your foot in the door with a company is the first step\u2014you can transition within or beyond the company to best suit your needs later. Ultimately, a little exploring is not a bad thing. Enjoy the journey. Then write about it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the second part of her post, Emily Disher Groch uses her English degrees to land a job and discovers how to focus several of her interests into creating her very own website.
