After nearly a year and a half of graduating from The University of Wyoming with a Bachelor’s Degree in English, I am finally obtaining a job that will utilize this degree. Today I was hired to be the proofreader of the local paper of Rock Springs, WY, The Rocket Miner.  There was an ad for a Lifestyle Writer and I applied for it. I then had two interviews for this position. I printed off writing samples from UW and showed them to my interviewers. They were well received and instead of a lifestyles writer and due to a series of events, I was offered the position of a proofreader because of my attention for detail and excellent grammar. I am just so happy right now. I hope I love the job and I have a good feeling that I will! I am sure that this job will lead to many opportunities and stories to share.
