Well it's official - the job search is on. I haven't been sleeping much at night, so I've been too tired to do anything productive in the daytime - but that all changes today! Ok Well, at least I'm working on it. The being productive part.
This Week In BC: Radio shift on Tuesday was fun, pretty good too. News went well, and I even caused commotion in the show notes folder so that was amusing. Morning show this morning with Brian went pretty well, and I was so exhausted and busy I even voicetracked my shift - but its okay because that means I learned how to voicetrack! I didn't make it to TCL tonight, but I'm looking forward to our capstone meeting tomorrow. (Since I'm the president and all.)
Career planning: Well, I found about 10 jobs so far that are worth trying for and could be fun. So today I spent an hour and a half printing up my new resumes and starting some cover letters. I'm really glad I bought the book to help with some samples, and I'm lending it to Megan soon so she can give it a try. I've been going through my aircheck tape to get new material for my resume tape, and I found some pretty good stuff. Tomorrow I'm gonna work on putting it all together. Then I can start sending out the material and keep my fingers crossed! Also, note to self: do not use MD 1 in the production room because it tried to eat my minidisc. Tear.
The 'biz: There's a post on Lost Remote that says basically...if news stations don't update their websites during the day, why would they expect people to tune to them for news at night? It shows how the Internet is becoming an integral part of our lives.

Update
Senior Project:
For my senior project I will be re-doing my resume cd's from last semester. I want to get a lot of up-to-date material to replace my older breaks and newscasts, and make sure I present myself at the best of my abilities. I also want to put in place the tips I recieved from my off-campus contacts. Both suggested that I slow down a little on my news delivery, so I am working on that. Also, just a few "style" tips that I can easily incorporate since we changed the "Titan Radio News" format, following my professional's suggestions.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to send them out again to have them re-critiqued, but I would like to try, just so I know that the resume tapes I'll be sending out for job applications have the best chance possible of showing my skills. I'm shooting to have great material and everything put together by early April, and that will give me a little time to send out cd's to other contacts if I choose to.
I'm also working on my resume. I need to add my WBT Internship on, and I have literally NO lines left to fit it. So, part of my project will include messing around with my resume so I can fit all the stuff I want and all the stuff I need on there. I also might try messing around with the e-portfolio a bit, although I'm not sure people in our business really have time to look at those. It could be fun to see what I can do with it, thought. Kinda like an added bonus for those who take the time to pop the disk in. ^_^
BC This Week: I had a really good DJ show today, unfortunately my aircheck tape ran out in the middle of an awesome break *sad face*. I also think my newscast went well today, and we had some decent sound. We would have had some great stories if people ever stopped in to their offices! I swear no one is ever around, they are avoiding my reporters. Lol. I have my morning show coming up Thursday, and I learned how to voicetrack today, so that's good times. I also helped out on The County Line last week and planned on it this week as well. Unfortunately I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it since my boyfriend's father passed away and I'm gonna try to get out there to support him Thursday and Friday.
Career Search: I've been supporting my boyfriend while the family makes arrangements, and trying to get some classwork done (what happened to my easy last semester?) so the job search is on hold.
The 'biz: Remember Watergate? Deep Throat was a key figure in the unraveling of the scandal...it will be interesting to see what happens if he does indeed pass away. A lot of people still wonder who he is...
