Shortly after graduating from Penn State this spring, Devin Tomb received the kind of job offer most of us only dream of — editorial assistant at Glamour magazine. She accepted the job and in June began working for the women’s glossy. In her job she gets to do things like pitch articles, answer reader mail, write stories and, oh ya, help work on projects for one of the magazine’s biggest events — the annual Women of the Year Awards. Sounds amazing, right?
When Devin isn’t helping put together your favorite guilty pleasure she can be found taking looong naps on the beach (during the summer and with SPF-30, of course!), booking a flight somewhere exciting, checking out the latest J. Crew catalog, listening to her iPod or making her way through the stack of books on her nightstand. Oh, and she’s a sucker for Häagen-Dazs zesty lemon sorbet, too. Read on to find out what a day in the life of working at one of the country’s biggest women’s magazines is like and to find out how Devin landed her dream job. And don’t be surprised if you see her name on the masthead as editor-in-chief one day…
