Thank you for checking me out, Stormychuck. I really appreciate what you did on here for me.
I did have an interview earlier this year with Scott of Mix 105.1 as a Morning Show Intern, but they chose someone else around the time they went with Dana on the morning show. I've sent my resume & airchecks to every other PD in Orlando every few months. I still have yet to hear from any of them, aside from DJ Sandy of O-Rock 105.9 for Promotions Assistant when they were still around. So CBS Radio Orlando has interviewed me twice in 7 years. The others I have not heard a peep from.
It's really not that easy to get in. I've been trying since 2005 & the two stations I currently appear on voluntarily, WYKS-FM Kiss 105.3 Gainesville & WPRK-FM 91.5 Winter Park-Orlando, is my only real result since March 2006. Now that I will have Arbitron PPM data to share in the next month or two, I'm getting ready to send my material once again.
WHYI-FM Y-100.7 in Miami gave me a job offer as Production Assistant, but I had a FT TV audio job that paid more at the time. I wish I would of never declined, because the economy started to suck & I got 2 huge paycuts & got laid off months later. Clear Channel Miami would probably have done the same. Been struggling financially ever since, but I still did those 2 stations voluntarily, before I even went to CSB School of Broadcasting.
It's all good. I'm currently going to UF Pharmacy Tech school just in case nothing else happens this year. I'll have a Pharmacy Technician Externship by June all set up, which will probably lead to a more financially stable job by the end of the year.
Still not giving up on radio or DJing, though. I've gone way too far to stop now. If any of you can help me get the attention of these PD's here, I'd really appreciate it. Feel free to e-mail me at
[email protected] & I will send you my resume & aircheck to pass around after I have updated it with official Arbitron PPM numbers, if they're good.
