What the radio jobs is filled already?

I've been in the radio business to know that when a radio station posts an ad for a position, there's a good chance the position is already spoken for.

Many times a radio station hires internally and posts the job just because of equal opportunity rules.

And, many people don't know that radio stations will do stealth searches so that the talent they're looking to replace won't jump ship until they find their replacement.

Want to find unlisted radio job opportunities? Network, network, network.

Getting Voice Work

There are lots of places where you can send your voice over demo to nowadays. But beware, there are a few places that just take your cash WITHOUT getting you any voice over work.
I can recommend a few if you want to send me an email. A few off the top of my head that I've heard people have success with are www.VoicePunch.com (I think there's now a fee-but I know a few people who have had good success) and www.BestRadioJobs.com.

Radio's Comeback

Stocks were up today bigtime. The biggest jump above 300 points since last November! Cool huh? So what does it mean for radio?

Will companies roll back the 5% pay decrease that they've been hitting their employees with? I don't think I've met ONE person in radio who thinks that when the economy gets better that we'll get that pay cut back. Anyone want to chime in?

Is the radio business doing that badly? Post your comments and thanks for reading!
