Nicole Varvitsiotes

I've had one finger on my Tweet Deck and the other on the Creative Department since the beginning of my career as a Social Media Associate. Tattoos danced in the light of oversized Mac monitors as the enigmatic group huddled in the corner. They were still doodling, making things, and painting, as if they'd been styled for a photoshoot. I was drawn in by the magnetism. I aspired to work as a copywriter.

As a result, I figured it would be a good idea to sit with the Creative Director who hires the Copywriters—you know, find some common ground to schmooze on, then go in for the kill with questions about what she thinks the ideal candidate looks like to her and how I could place myself for an inter-office move.

The meeting deviated significantly from the plan. I sat back and started listening to her rattle off imaginative commandments through pursed lips rather than leaning into a hasty transition out of the world of social monitoring and status changes.
