People are getting hired

I got some really great good news this weekend.  My friend moved to San Francisco from her native Chicago upon graduating Hopkins last spring with a fairly flawless transcript, a veritable who's-who of magazine, law and PR internships, and people skills up the wazoo.  Of course, she was hired and fired from a boutique PR agency that had promised her a year's job support ... after working less than 3 months.  Her perseverance in the face of continued economic misfortune was both inspiring and slightly frightening: the most qualified individual I know couldn't seem to make it happen.  My incredulity hardly justified her struggle, but (now for the good stuff) it was short-lived - Carleigh Connelly is the new managing editor of Culinary Trends magazine!  From unemployed to editor ... hot damn.  Make sure to pick up a copy and keep 'em printing.  Let it be a lesson to us all, that everything happens for a reason and it will all work out in time.
