Great News! :)
Hello dear followers! I try to keep my content exclusively film-related but these happy news are too good not to share. Yesterday, after weeks of pursuing it, taking thousands of tests and filling many applications, I got a fantastic job. After years of stints in coffee shops and a call center, this’ll be my first real job and the first in the field of Communication, which is something that has always captured my interest and what I studied at the University. This job couldn’t have come at a better time, as I’m very close to graduating!
If you’re interested, it’s at Milenio, a huge media group that comprises TV and radio as well as print and digital media. After proving themselves a force in major cities like Monterrey and Guadalajara, they’ve just established themselves in Tijuana and I’m proud to be one of the first Milenio employees in this border city. I’ll be in charge of creating content (mostly news stories) and uploading it to the soon-to-launch Milenio Tijuana website, as well as sharing it on the main social networking sites. The people are nice, the pay and benefits are good but what I like the most (apart from the ton of things I’ll surely learn) is that, as part of my training, I’ll be going to Mexico City for four days next week! I haven’t had the pleasure of visiting the capital of my country (except for its airport, when I went to Cancún and Veracruz) so this experience will be extra-special.
If you notice a lack of activity here at Committed to Celluloid in the coming days, you’ll know why that is. You may not know this, but your incredible support through almost two years of blogging, has made me a more secure, confident man. With your kind words and comments, you’ve all contributed to making me a better person, and have helped me polish the qualities that my employers saw in me, so I have all you guys to thank for this new opportunity I’ve been given. Thank you.
Well done mate!

Wow Fernando that IS great news! Good luck with your job!! It sounds really great.
I never knew we would have shaped you into a character your employers highly appreciated. That’s great to hear. I’m smiling very much to hear of this great opportunity you have in front of you, but you are clearly much, much more euphoric about it.
I tried clicking on the link to the company’s website; would you mind helping me out? I go to a school of a 35% Hispanic population, so I’m lucky to be “semi-fluent” in Spanish, and when I try to communicate, I end up either a) speaking “Spanglish” or b) getting punched in the face because I apparently just said something insulting.
Regardless, I’m even worse at reading Spanish. Maybe I need to go on my computer to view it, where I can automatically Google Translate it, but from viewing on my iPod, it looks like most of the text is on images and not plain text, which Google can’t translate.
We’ll definitely wait for you. I remember when I first discovered your blog, I kept coming back for updates and for about a month, the newest review was Get Him to the Greek. Now I don’t have to reprise my worried notion that perhaps your blog is dead. I’ve tried going back through all your reviews quite a few times, but I’ve never gotten completely through. Maybe I’ll devote a whole day to a Fernandothon/C2Cthon, or just stop midway, bookmark the page, and then wait another day for read review, next post, repeat.
Bravo.

Thank you, Alexander! I’m very happy about it! Hopefully weeks, months or maybe years from now I’m still loving my job! haha
Thanks for the kind words about my blog. I’ll try to schedule a couple posts for next week.
About the page, I guess it’s better, like you said, entering from a computer and have Google Translate it. I just lnked to it so you guys could have a better idea of what Milenio is and does.

Such fantastic news, Fernando. You’re such a talented writer and the job sounds perfect for you! I know how soul destroying it can be working in dead end job (six years after graduating I’ve only just found a relevant job I enjoy!), and am so pleased for you. As are the rest of the movie talking gang 😀
I’m so glad you’ve gained a lot from your blog, it really is such a pleasure to read. I wish you every success in your career and look forward to reading more about it in the future! 🙂
