 Despite the continuous cries of how tough it is to get a job in radio, there seems to be constant flow of new bodies entering the field. This particular question comes up a lot in my email.

Question:
I graduate in June with a degree in Music Communications. I have worked at my college-station for two years and an internship at a station last winter. We learned how to put together a demo last semester, but I am still not sure how to go about getting a job. I have submitted over 100 resumes without any responses. Do you have any advice?

Answer:
It is always good to reach back for information from contacts at your internship. There might be a job there. Also, contact the PD’s in your town and ask for advice on how to get a job. Make that person a mentor and ask if they would mind critiquing your work. This approach might speed up the process for finding your first radio job.
