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!
