Essence Grant, Beauty Director at BuzzFeed, didn't have a specific dream job in mind back when she was in college. She just knew somewhere at the intersection of beauty, media and entertainment, she'd be okay. So when an opportunity to write about New York's Fashion Week came her way, she went for it. (Though it did involve skipping class.) With pluck and grit, that first job led to another and to BuzzFeed, one the internet's most highly trafficked sites.
