I tried this topic on the NY board with interesting results. I'm out of work without the option to relocate. Looking for a job outside of radio has been almost funny. Employers don't quite know how to interpret info on a radio resume. Nobody knows what to make of the industry terms (Program Director and Production have vastly different meanings in the "real work world"). Here's my question: Who among you have moved on to something other than radio? What did you do and how did you get there? I'm in my early 40's and my work experience is 90% radio. This could help and inspire many of us. Or depress us further.
 
A friend of mine segued from radio to health care. He basically told me that you have to take the information on your resume and re-write it so it reflects better in a "real world" situation.

In other words, a program director excells at "Client Relations" (angry listeners), "Market Research and Analysis" (ratings), etc. etc.
