end of job hunt but still hopeful for a dream

Yes! That's so called the end of my job hunting after many many weeks! I was offered a position in Starlight Advertising as a media coordinator!

Starlight Advertising is pride as the longest running local advertising agency! It has been around since 1952 and has come a long way! So what does a media coordinator do?

The ideal job scope of a coordinator is basically advising the clients on the medium to advertise in in order for the message of the ads to get across effectively. Of course i will definitely have to start with the easiest and i will only know what i will be doing on Monday!

Before i was given a call by Starlight yesterday, i was called up by one of the most impactful and creative agencies called TBWA. They handle accounts like Visa, Singapore Airlines, Standard Chartered and many more prominent companies that we know! If you think the advertisement are creative, it's the work of TBWA.

I was so excited about this call! They called to basically find out more about my interest and although what they are offering me is not what i want to do but i think it could just help me a lot more in my career advancement! I think the position of a web specialist handling big client's account is not too bad either yah? :)

Another reason why i was so excited about it was that 2 years ago, i participated in an advertising competition. TBWA was one of the companies involved and my mentor for that compy was an Account Director from TBWA. I was so into them that when i was asked on the survey form which agency i would like to go into if i were chosen, i placed them above the likes of Ogilvy & Mather, DDB and Saatchi & Saatchi.

Will my dream company contact me tomorrow for an interview? I'm really hopeful of that. If not i will stick to Starlight which is also good because a smaller environment gives me more opportunities to learn all the traits in an agency!

Well, i'm leaving this to God because i made a prayer that if within thursday and friday i'm given a chance for interview @ TBWA and i'm chosen.. that's a sign. If not, that is also another sign. :)
