MY DREAM JOB.

I was advised there was a posting for a Social Media Specialist on the Flight Centre website. The application's mandatory requirements were that I subscribe to Linkedin, Twitter, Blogspot/Tumblr/etc, and a few other things along the way. And, in 140 characters, explaining WHY Flight Centre would need me.

This is what I said:

@jilleasy & @flight_centre #unbeatable because I'm a #honorsbroadcastinggraduate #promotionsandsalespro #worldtraveller #socialmediajunkie

As some of my friends that follow my Twitter would know, I missed my bus stop and wound up in another city the other day, due to me twittering/blogging.
If that doesn't show some dedication to the web, maybe this will:

My Life, in a Nutshell:
- 12 years old; got dialup internet package for 12 hours of usage
CONSEQUENCE: Racked up 88 hours in one month, causing my parents to almost have heart failure

- 13 years old; the discovery of Yahoo! Chat, ICQ, AIM, Paltalk, and MSN. Second, the discovery of using these all at the same time. Computer crashes multiple times a day, and gets infected with viruses. Mom and Dad not impressed.

- 13-15 years old; sitting on the computer for 8 hours at a time, making (now embarrassing) websites via Angelfire.com and photobucket.com, joining the "Site Fights". Since I'm feeling brave, here are my old websites: UGH #1 and UGH #2 These have not been touched for years... Do not judge too harshly!!!

- 13-15 years old; joining picpage.com, facethejury.com, enternexus.com, Yahoo! Groups, and any other social networking site I could get my hands on. I want to go on a trip to Fort Lauderdale, FL to visit my e.boyfriend, Tom #thankgodididntgo #thankyoumomforsayingno
- NAPSTER DOT COM.

- 15-19 years old - stay up til 6 am chatting with people on MSN. Tired. Internet usage tapers off due to schooling... and parties.
- ENTERNEXUS BECOMES NEXOPIA, and the thing explodes. BOOM! All time spent on Nexopia.
- MYSPACE. #nufsaid

19-21 - Myspace is my life. But then, a little thing called Facebook is opened up to those of us not in University, and the world changes.

21-Present - Facebook, blogspot, hypem.com, fotolog.com, and of course, TWITTER.

^ With that said, that is one portion of my life. I feel I could consider myself an expert on Social Media. Mixed in with my Broadcasting background, passion for travel and food, and my fascination with social interaction and information sharing, I believe I could truly find ways to engage a lot of people, via the web, about how to travel the world with Flight Centre.
