And the job hunt continues.... looking for a bit'o'help
cannedpasta | 11:58 PM on 09.02.2008 9 comments


I honestly never thought it would get to this - mostly because my Wife never wanted to move away from her family - but there are no openings in radio anywhere in the state of MI and that has forced me to look elsewhere.

So far, over the last two weeks, I have sent my resume, air checks, and production samples to stations in Colorado, Florida, Wisconsin, Fargo, ND (seriously), Texas, Missouri, and Alabama.

I am actually looking for a bit of help with this too... if anyone knows of any stations in the US that happen to be hiring for a full-time position (any format except Urban), it would be much appreciated if you could pass that knowledge to me.

And, if none of those pan out, I might be getting a full-time position at the local AT&T Store. As much as I don't want a sales driven job, it is much better than nothing.

Seeing that all I have is $1.20 to my name, all I can do is support you with words.
I live on the West Coast, otherwise I could possibly look into some things. However, keep it up, these cycles happen.

Man that sucks. Hopefully you get some interviews lined up. Who knows, you could end up down here in Texas with the famous Walton & Johnson show. Good luck to you.

102.1 the X in Richmond, Virginia has been looking for people to fill positions all summer, but it has been at least a week since I heard the ads on the morning radio. Try checking out their website ( http://www.wrxl.com/main.html ) and their jobs listings ( http://www.clearchannelrichmond.com/ccrichmondjobs.html ). I sincerely hope this helps, man.

I was recently unemployed as well, so I feel your pain.

Consider yourself on my list of individuals I'm looking out for. Seriously, if anything crosses my radar I'll private-message you the details.

I'd LOVE to help, but I also am unemployed as of three months ago.

Good luck buddy.
