Where to look for jobs?

I'm a native Pittsburgher... I've been doing radio for about 11 years (mostly rock formats) and I've spent the last 8 years in NC and Virginia. I'm now moving back to the Burgh and wanted to see where to look for a job. I've tried most of the stations' websites and haven't seen much there- not that that's a surprise. What's the best site where I could find openings in the area. Thanks- Go Steelers.<P ID="signature">______________

There are NO jobs here & haven't been for a while, in fact stations are down sizing. Unless you looking for part-time only & would be happy making $8.50 an hour, I'd forget about radio in the Burgh.

Radio stations are usually no different from any other business. They'll often advertise job openings in order to comply with EEOC regulations, but only AFTER the positions are already filled. And before anyone rakes me over the coals, I'm only reporting the way things are, not taking any stand on whether that's a good or bad thing.
 
Thanks- I've been around enough (in 3 diff markets) to know that there's not really a place where radio jobs are plentiful. I'm currently in a top-50 market and jobs, even PT, are pretty nonexistent. I don't expect things to be any easier in a top-25. I'd just like to know if there are any legit, reliable places to find the "submit T&R, don't call, just pray" ads. I know VA has vartv.com where most of the stations in the state list their openings (that are mostly still actually open). I checked out pbrtv but didn't even find a classified section. I left PA after I finished college, 8 years ago, so I really don't have any industry friends in the market to hit up.<P ID="signature">______________

Good luck. I'd forget about Pittsburgh and maybe concentrate on a small-market gig within the confines of the Pittsburgh market. I'm close enough to Pittsburgh where I can be there in an hour, but it's not in the city. That's fine with me. If you're looking for a prime daypart on a Pittsburgh FM playing music...you'll be looking for awhile. Good luck.
