My job is never boring. I am blessed to be employed at Gallery Furniture where I work on the internet team. Every day is something new and interesting. Some days are spent writing descriptions for “extremely comfortable” sofas while others are spent verifying measurements. We have amazing contests through social media that are just sheer fun to be involved with. During the day I may help check HTML, post to twitter, (yep, I’m a professional twit!) or edit landing page and email copy.
Today I helped with product naming, posted products to our website: http://www.galleryfurniture.com, edited writing from my team, and began the copy for a youtube video voice-over by one of our designers.
Learning to embrace the chaos has allowed me to actually look forward to each day. But, all this has been possible only because I never stopped trying to find a way to incorporate words into my life. The opportunity to develop professionally into a copywriter and content strategist was not laid out for me – I had to reach out and prove my ability.
Reaching out to try is scary, and not always the obvious choice. So, I dare you to try something else and see what happens!
