Hi! First let me say that I love you and what you've brought to Cosmo so far and, ya know, fuck the haters.

I'm a broadcast journalism major and I have heard a lot of opposing viewpoints from professors and people in the field on how to land a job like yours. Some say it's about persistence and being borderline insane and annoying until you're noticed, showing up at the place you want to work with writing samples and a portfolio and refusing to go away until you're heard. Some say it's about staying quiet and doing good, consistent, but small, work until someone notices. Is it one of these options or something in the middle?

On that same note, are you looking for an intern or someone to bitch around at the office or an adorable little transplant to New York to do video segments? Because I'm totally down.

Thank you!! You're my favorite, from your articles to your short stories, I seriously think you're the greatest ever even if I sound like a weirdo. I will probably be printing out your reply and framing it. If I am ever successful in my field or get photographed for HONY and they ask what the best advice I ever got was, I will tell them this. :)
