Carrie Williams for Your First Ever MTV TJ!

As some of you may know, I recently moved up to New York City in pursuit of a career in TV Production/ Journalism. Despite most opposition to my relentless desire to move the city, I stuck with it and moved up here anyways.



 It's been one week that I've spent in Manhattan so far, and I. Am. Obsessed.
I love the city, the hustle and bustle and the OPPORTUNITY just waiting for me at the beginning of each and every day.

 And opportunity is exactly what I encountered this afternoon. I came across a twitter update about MTV's new search for their first-ever TJ.

If you're wondering what a TJ is, it's basically a 2010 version of what Carson Daily was as a VJ (Video Jockey) for MTV in the 90's, but similarly, the TJ position places an emphasis on the world of social media.

Of course, you know me, I am going for it with no regrets. If all else fails, at least I tried right?

Here are 3 reasons why I believe I should be the FIRST MTV TJ:

#1. I am a true MTV girl.
Grew up with MTV as a kid. Watched the evolution of MTV throughout the years. I watched as "VJ's" captivated MTV audiences around the world, and now my dream, is to have that same influence on my contemporaries through the social media as MTV's first-ever TJ!



#2. Experience.

A) I JUST graduated from Auburn University, receiving my Bachelors degree in Broadcast Journalism and Public Administration.

B) I am a journalist, TV producer and social media fanatic.

C) I've worked for MTV before! Yes, that's right, I've been the few and lucky to actually step foot into the Viacom building, to eat in the ever-famous Lodge and work for MTV productions as a Production Assistant and Intern!



#3. I live in New York! 

Ironic as it may be, I JUST moved to my new apartment in Manhattan last week! I decided to move to the big city and take my chances searching for my dream job so who would have thought the MTV TJ job would be such a perfect opportunity to fall in my lap! It seems like it was meant to be right?!
