 hi guys welcome back to my channel thank you so much for being here and if you're not already subscribed make sure you are subscribed and also follow me on instagram because it would mean the world to me today's video is a little different because it's going to be kind of like an experience story time i just wanted to share the story because not many people talk about their experiences with bigger youtubers and i kind of just wanted to tell mine and this isn't bad or anything negative so i just want to put that out there um also too i'm filming at night which is crazy because i always film during the day and it's just a little different so this all started back in 2019 and i was looking for jobs it was in 2019 that i just wanted to like explore and just see what was out there and i had followed this youtuber i don't want to say their name because i don't know i just don't feel comfortable but something stuck in my throat so i'm not gonna say the youtuber's name but you guys if you've been around on youtube and followed like the lifestyle beauty guru people then it's not gonna be that hard to figure out what youtuber i'm talking about i still watch her today and i love her content like i get a lot of inspiration from her still it was just a really really cool thing that i got to even like interview with her company back on topic i don't have any notes or anything so this is just really like random and stuff that's why this video might be like all over the place so i saw that they were looking for a social media manager and i was like oh my gosh what if like i applied why not right and i know that the description said you had to be on location like it couldn't be virtual so i was like i would totally move to this state um just to have a new experience and like work for one of my favorite youtubers like that would be so cool so i was at my friend's house for a little bit and i think they were like away because i remember i was alone so i got my resume and i attached it and i sent it off to um the youtuber's mom and i just wrote like i actually might still have the email i'm gonna see if i still have the email because i do okay so i'm just gonna kind of read to you the thread um i'll put a screenshot and blur out the information just so you guys know it's true like i don't know so i said hi and then i mentioned the woman i sent the um resume to my name is alex blanket ship and i'm interested in the social media slash content manager position i would be the best candidate for this position because i have been producing content for social media platforms for about three years i did freelance so i had about i don't know how many clients but i had a couple i have been freelancing for small businesses in the orlando area running their social media as well as creating video slash photo content for for a local tv station oh i must have already been i must have been just like freelance at the place i work now so that's interesting i said i have a passion for interacting with an online audience and helping a company grow their customer base i am willing to relocate and i'm currently looking for full-time employment so at that time i was looking for a full-time job and come around full circle like now i just accepted a full-time position which is like kind of weird to like look back on and then i said i've attached my resume and here is the link to my portfolio and then i just linked my website and then i said thank you so much for your time and then she responds and i was like so excited right so she responds and it says hello alex thank you for your interest in our social media content manager position i am interested in interviewing you via phone regarding this position please let me know what your availability is this week for a call i look forward to speaking with you and then best in her name which is like so cool like i was like oh my gosh like i'm talking to this influencers mom like granted i did meet them at a meet-up so i'm like i wonder if she still remembers me but i don't know like it had been like obviously a long time so anyway and then i respond and i said the best time for a call this week would be friday afternoon around one or two eastern standard time because the time differences are different and then she i said please let me know if this works for you my number is and then i give her my number and then she said alex let's schedule for friday at two p.m eastern standard time i will speak with you then and i was like that's so cool um and then we basically had our interview and i think she asked me about like five questions one of the questions was like where do you see yourself in five years and then another one was like what do you do at the tv station and then she asked like do you have any questions and i asked would benefits be provided because i would be interested in like having a benefits if i'm working full time and the answer that she gave me back then like it could have changed now but they did not provide benefits so you'd just be like you know you'd have to buy your own insurance and then another question was like what salary would you think be fair like she asked me something about like how much money would i want for like my position and i was like about like 30 000 i mean i basically said like i need to be able to sustain myself in a different state because i wouldn't be in florida so that is what the interview was like and they were so professional on the phone like she had her assistant with her you could tell that they were like taking notes and just interested in my experience and everything i think what made me a probably like least likely to get hired by this company is um my location because i would have to like move all across the country pretty much for this position and for the role it was maybe they probably didn't think it was that worth it for me to like up and move it was just so cool because like again still like she's one of my favorite youtubers still today and just like getting the opportunity and having um like her mom be interested in me it made me feel like so special and cool and i think they're doing a great job now so like whoever got picked it was just it was really cool and i know that i'm just not meant to be in that state probably and maybe that's why as well i've been waiting to tell this story just because i just wanted to like give it some time it's not like fresh news but um if you guys want to guess who it is like leave in the comments again it's pretty obvious like the things that i've said so anyway i think if another position came up where like a youtuber was looking for someone to work for them and i like genuinely love the youtuber and like loves their content and like have been following them for a while which isn't a lot of people hypothetically let's say like karin from like kk and baby j said like oh do you want to work for us like doing photography i would be like oh my gosh yes because i don't know like it's just cool to like have people that you watch and follow and support like notice you uh talk to you just like anything like that um i don't put these people like on like pedestals um my mindset's not really like that um i get excited obviously but like do i agree with everything that they do say wear clearly not but it would just still be like really cool um to get an opportunity to actually work with like one or two of them that would be like really cool um so this was like a really like close step to being able to like be hands-on in a company for one of my favorite youtubers oh i did forget like one thing i had the interview in my car at old key west and um i have to have sherry tell you why old key west is like so special to us but um it's where i've said my first words it's a disney vacation club resort and it's where like we would always go so it's like so funny that i had a whole like conversation interview with like this woman that i followed her family and everything um for so long like interviewing me in the parking lot because i was i was poolside and then i'm like oh it's time for my interview because we were doing like a little staycation um with my family and i so around two o'clock i walked my car and i had my interview in the car which is so funny oh and i also was thinking that the youtuber was also going to be present for my interview but that was not the case so she was not in the interview it was just her mom and the assistant at that time in the interview like on the phone with me yeah if you were wondering that i did not like get to like speak to the youtuber i just spoke with her mom and then um i didn't like bring up anything like personal like there was no like oh how's the dog or like you know congratulations her daughter having her kids so um there was nothing like that it was like pretty like professional and like everything like that so if you guys were wondering if it like got any like personal oh i'm a fan or whatever like no it was like serious pretty much um but they were all like so friendly and like really nice yeah i think it would be like a really fun cool company to work for i definitely if they were like hey do you want to like come move to the state and like work for us because like i found your resume i'll be like uh yes because it seems like they have positive vibes and energy so definitely yes i still love and shop from the brand kind of like wearing the brand right now so anyway i hope you guys enjoyed this video it was just like a fun little memory i wanted to share with you guys give this video a thumbs up don't forget to subscribe to my channel i'll see you guys in my next video bye
