I cannot tell you how excited I am about this weekend! I'm going with a couple of my girls on the SGA sponsored trip to NYC!!! Now, it's not for any special interview like Liz Farry or Mister Pat Sandora, but we do get an NBC Studios Tour. I've got tons of plans, and I can't wait!
BC This Week: It's almost time for the Capstone Broadcast Festival (April 25!) , so I have been thinking about what I want to put together for my presentation. Unlike Miss Megan, I haven't a clue how I want to organize it yet, and she already has hers done! Geesh! Maybe I should get her to do mine too...hehe.
I had a really great DJ shift on Tuesday, some resume material. Radio news would have been totally awesome if Mangino (Lawrence County D.A.) would have called back, but he never did, grr. I really need an awesome newscast to update my resume! Morning show tomorrow should be fun.
Career Planning: I need to apply to some more places, I haven't really turned up much lately. I haven't heard back from anything I applied to yet either, which is kinda sad. I'm getting a little worried, it would be nice to have a job lined up! Or at least potentials. I sent an email to RC at WTAM to see what date would be best to meet with him, I'll just miss a day of classes to drive home and meet with him. Hey, it could help land me a job!
Also, I really want to go to this job fair next Wednesday, but I feel bad missing class. I think I will go anyway. Anyone else planning on going?
In the 'biz: This week I found an article abut American Idol adding an Instant Messaging service to target their viewers. It's called The American Idol Experience Messenger. Oy vae.

And Then It Was Spring.
Yay Spring! Although I enjoy fall temperatures much more, and April is usually dreary, gray, and rainy, especially at "Wet-minster", spring is warmer than winter, so YAY! This just wasn't a nice winter. It was either too cold or too icy to go sled riding any time I was free, so I just wanted winter to be over. And I haven't worn a coat in over a week!
Enough of that. I left a message for RC at WTAM, hopefully we touch base and I can head in there to talk over my newscasts and such.
Other than that, the job search/paper writing/relaxing breaktime is being put on hold, because my mom decided we're making the trek to Bethlehem, PA to visit my aunt and gramma for Easter, since we haven't seen them in a few years.
I also need to remember to submit my "senior speech" effort! *note to self* Like it or not - Graduation, here we come.

Happy St. Patricks Day!
or, The Week I was Packed For Spring Break.
That's right girls and boys. I've been mentally packed for Spring Break since about Sunday, and now I'm just about completely physically packed as well. But I always have this nagging feeling that I'm forgetting something....
This Week In BC: Radio news was decent as always, we got some good sound. My DJ shifts went well, and Brian and Laura in the Morning had an All-Irish St. Patricks Day and it rocked! We had a lot of fun and I think I got some more good material for my resume tapes.
Career Stuffs: Speaking of resume tapes, RC from WTAM wants me to stop by sometime with newer material to go over my newscasts. He says I have potential! W00+! So I emailed him back that I am doing basically nothing over spring break, so maybe I can stop by and play some raw 'casts off my aircheck tape. Unfortunately I don't have any decent wraps or lives so far this semester. Anyone got any ideas for me? LOL.
In the 'Biz: This article talks about how Viacom might split into two businesses. CBS and Infinity Radio would be one company, while the MTV Networks would be the other. Viacom already split from Blockbuster, last fall. Interesting...

Laura's take on tapes.
Resume tapes, that is.
My approach? Simple. It starts with airchecks. Aircheck all of your on-air material.
To create radio resume tapes: I start by going through my aircheck material. Everything I like, I save onto a minidisc. Then I can go through the minidisc, which takes less time than the aircheck tapes, and pick out my best breaks. I like to keep updating my tape with new material as well. Tandi pointed out that it shows Program Director's that you keep up with current events and it is a push in the right direction! Then, using SAW, I put my material together and burn it to CD.
Basically the same goes for radio news. My November resume tape has a live, a wrap, and a newscast that are all related, which was nice. However, it's time to update, and I'm really not sure what I'm going to put on it.
I haven't really put any tapes together for TV, since I'm not sure I'm interested in that area, but I do have VHS's with old County Lines and packages and video essays that I have done for the department, in case I ever need to show examples of my work.
The next step, of course, is to start sending out applications. So... off to continue the job search!
