I’m pleased to announce that today is my first day working at @Record_Journal , covering the town of Southington. It’s been a journey to get up to Connecticut, but I’m excited to be taking this next step in my career! I’ll be sharing my work with you guys soon!

[Christian Metzger @CTMetz98]

I thought I’d have a job by now, in truth. But it seems I’ve had a severe difficulty either getting people to reply back. It’s rather discouraging to try and get into the field for months with what I think is decent experience and still not be able to secure a place to work.
