Bailey's - creamy. beige.

I need a job. Actually, I need another job. Right now I am working at a movie theater...the same movie theater I was working at when I was 16. Honestly right now I'm working there just because I need money and I was on good terms with the managers, so they took me back. I get paid minimum wage and hardly get any hours at all...so it's not exactly going to pay the insurance on my car. But, the good news is I get to see movies for free. 

A guy from a small magazine came into the theater today trying to get my manager to buy an ad. I decided to stop him as he was walking out the door and see if they were hiring at all since I'm hoping to find a job in journalism. I don't want to put the name in here because I'm sure they google their publication to see where it comes up and he wouldn't like what I have to say next. You see, this guy talked down to me, and would make these sarcastic faces whenever he mentioned the idea of me getting a paid position. He said that there were no openings and the best I might be able to get is an unpaid internship. I honestly think that he believed I was younger than I actually am, and he acted like he didn't believe that I have the experience that I do. Regardless of his rudeness, I'm still going to send them my resume and some clips and see what happens. 

Please tell me if you know of any magazines or newspapers looking for a reporter or PR representative. I really, really need the extra money! Thanks in advance!
