Life as Production Assistant at OUP
Six months ago I received an email that changed my life. We had to start this with a dramatic opening. I have been celebrating the half a year mark at Oxford University Press lately and the nostalgia, mixed with SHEER RELEIF of passing my probation period got me feeling reflective and so, here we are. I thought I'd share a few highlights/shocking revelations/epiphany's I've had over this past half a year. You will be trusted to form and sustain relationships with core suppliers. One aspects of my current role that never fails to blow my mind just a tad on a daily basis is the sheer reach of people I get to engage with. My position can often lend itself to a lot of solitary work, which can be the best thing in the world on those days when you're feeling duff and have zero meetings for hours so just want to work from bed or the sofa with a bowl of yellow-sticker soup (a description, not a brand...unless?). It always makes me feel better about my lack of meetings ...
