2011 is in full swing now, with this being the third full week of the year. I have already submitted a resumé to boot--for a non-profit you may or may not have heard of called the Child's Play Charity. It isn't radio, but it is a full-time job with benefits and requires skills I am confident that I have, namely in dealing with people and working under stress with a need for good time-management.
On the radio front, the rhetoric I am hearing from above is the same. The industry is still in a rough spot, but if the numbers are good I can probably look forward to a small raise along with everyone else. Which would be fine and dandy if I wasn't making minimum wage and working the kind of hours I do that all but exclude having any kind of contact with people in a social context. As my parents would say, "At least I have a job," which is true but really very little comfort.
I got a contact through my father for a gentleman down in Madison that allegedly has some connections to some of the radio stations down there. It's a larger market, which is certainly a plus, and might prove to be that next step I'm looking for in my career. I suppose I shall find out when I get in touch with him later.
