March 24, 2009 | internin', the printed blog, work

In November, I came across an ad looking for team members for a new media start up for a newspaper that would be printing out blogs. I sent an email and the next day heard back to come in from an interview. I was offered the job right on the spot. It was an internship but it didn’t pay but I could use the experience.

And that is exactly what I got.

I was there since day one. I got some of our most popular contributors. I created networks. I spread the word. I brought on new team members. I was in the New York Times. I worked 12 hour days and weekends. I spoke on camera which I hate doing and posed for pictures. I flew to New York. I passed out papers in the cold. I did everything because I thought it could be really cool if it took off.

But now it’s time for me to move on.

I’m happy I got the experience though. I met some amazing people from this. I am bummed about how things turned out because I feel like I did do so much. I’m leaving on my own terms though and am this close to finalizing a great new opportunity (keep your fingers crossed for me on that). I’m ready for bigger and better things.

It’s been a good run, The Printed Blog.

Good stuff Jamie. Everything happens for a reason, and best of luck moving forward. It was great meeting you, and hopefully we can keep in touch, even social media style : )

Glad to hear that the internship was helpful for you. You did a great job putting everything together. Any company would be lucky to have you run their social media!
