Two Prospects

Hello again everyone, it is about time for me to break for lunch because I'm starving, but thought a quick post was in order for the day. Who am I kidding, I've been planning this since last week just to sit down and do a post...haha. Anyway, two new prospects have come my way - one in warner robins, and one in savannah, ga.

Warner Robins has a station called WRWR - they are an AM radio station along with television and a news show that has an open sales position for full-time employment. I emailed my resume to one of the radio show's hosts - Kris Vermillion, and he in turn forwarded it to the general manager, David Hileman. Dave emailed back to me saying they have a possible position opening and would love for me to come down to the station to meet him. I asked what it was, and whether it was full-time or part-time. He said it was a full-time sales position. Now mind you, I have done sales before - I did the commission sales thing selling braves tickets to B2B. That was okay, but I only did it for a summer job. I don't think I would make it a career, so that's why I left, plus it was only commission-based, no salary or benefits. Tough luck there.

So, I've decided to have a phone interview with this guy Dave - ask him all kinds of questions about what he knows in the radio business, then get back to my coach - Sam Weaver to see if this would be worth it. Honestly, I wouldn't work a sales job if it meant I wouldn't be given a shot to go on the air - cos that's what I want to do. So we'll see where that goes.

In Savannah, I've been emailing this guy Don Scott, who is the Program Director for "The Rock of Savannah" aka WIXV. He said he'd have an opening for a part-time board operator - and that's right in the radio station itself. If I got that job, even though its part-time, it'd be a way in to the radio business. Then I could get another part-time job. That's what I've been doing non-stop...finding another part-time job that would go fine with this part-time job.

So keep doing what you gotta do folks - and something will come up.
