Dear Future Job,
As of right now, May 2020, I’m not too sure what you are. Since I’ve been stuck at home the past month-and-a-half, it has left me to contemplate… A LOT. I’m very sure of what path I want to take, but don’t know your exact “entry-level” name just yet. I’ll be working at American Eagle (fingers crossed) at headquarters one day as a social media coordinator. I’m set on focusing my skills and passions for clothing, social media, content creation, and writing within you. I know when you come around with the perfect job description that was made just for me that it’s the right time to apply.
I want to turn all of the things that I’m scared about into positive outlooks. Yes, I’m doing a billion things and have many interests. I’m working as an influencer, handling my own Instagram, currently waiting to go back to styling in-store, educating myself through communication and media classes, writing and editing for Her Campus Montclair, creating my own personal content, and so on. Sometimes I reflect on all of this and believe it’s overwhelming, but I know that all of it will propel me into my future career. I still don’t know what you are technically, but I want something that is all of the above, blended into one.
What I’ve done within the company so far has been life-changing; not only for me but for so many current influencers in training and future influencers as well. Now that I’m taking a different direction in the company rather than just in-store, it’s making me think if I should dip my toes into influencer marketing. Being on the flip side is something I would love to learn more about. One day I can reflect back on this open letter and know that I made it because I truly believe in speaking everything I want into existence.
Sincerely from your future employee,
Giselle Huasipoma
