Good Evening, all!


Good Evening Everyone!
A couple of days ago, I went to Penguin Publishing House for their recruitment program and let me tell you, I learned a lot! They explained the different depts involved in the publishing process, and gave us the history of their company as well. I was there with another 30-40 students who all have the same dream as me. As the presentation went on, I'm sure all of them thought the same thing as me: "Man, do I wish this prestigious company will hire me!"
After that day. Luckily, for me I had not only my resume, but my cover letter, picture of my book and two recommendation letters (one from Folio where I interned in the summer and another from Professor Carey Harrison, who's dad was Rex Harrison, the main character in the film "My Fair Lady). It ALWAYS pays to be overprepared rather than underprepared. Though I gave my papers to the person whow as in charge of human resources, I still emailed everything again. It seems to me that this kind of thing is a raffle in some way; the more times you apply, the bigger chances you have.
Well, that was that, and we were told we will receive an answer in the next month. I am nervouse, I want to work for them VERY much, but what's menat to be is what's meant to be. I just gotta be hopeful, so wish me luck!! : )
