On the Real: The (Former) NYT Worker Bee

There once was a very young worker bee finishing up an internship at a local newspaper during her junior year of college. This bee applied for a job with The New York Times Regional News Group, but she never thought she'd get it. Frankly, this worker bee was used to disappointment. But she did get the job, and was even hired on the spot. How do you like that? She really loved her job and got along with everyone at work, but she started to wonder what else was out there for her to see. So, after two years, the worker bee gave notice at her job and decided to move back in with her parents for a while to save up for her biggest move ever—New York City. 

Because, you see, this worker bee studied magazine journalism in college and even did an in-depth analysis of racial implications in Parisian fashion magazines when she studied abroad in Paris. She loves them so much, she can't bring herself to rip out a page or even throw one away; she even started an online magazine. Plus, anyone who's known this bee for more than five minutes knows she wants to work at Seventeen someday.


This worker bee sounds a little crazy, right? Well, she'd be the first to tell you that she's not exactly normal. But this bee is still really young with no obligations, so she has the opportunity to do whatever she wants with her life. Why not take it? Even though she knows it's not going to be easy to go from living on her own to being under her parents' roof again, she's going to do whatever it takes to make her dreams a reality.


Not only is this worker bee looking for a job (Like, seriously. If you know someone hiring, especially in online publishing, she is totally interested and you should email her. Save her from ending up back on the futon in her family's computer room.) but she's also aiding in the search for someone to take over her job. She will not lie, it is a pretty hard job and you are under a lot of pressure, but just think of how accomplished it will make you feel when you've mastered your duties? Your work hours would be 2:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., you'll probably be part-time (unless you have a skill that would allow you to work in multiple departments) and it's in Gainesville, Fla. If you'd like the worker bee to possibly pass your name on to her bosses or want more info about her job duties as an Editing Clerk, send her an email.

If you'd just like to email the bee to wish her luck, please do so.


(If you're tragically lost, the "worker bee" is me.)
