I mean literally worked at one? :confused:
I am tyring to get a part time job at one, basically for the fun of it. It would be the early morning shift, just helping out, not exactly the "jock" position but still cool. It's been awhile since I was in college and had a class on editing and recording, etc.
Anyone got some advice that could give me an edge in the interview process? Thanks...:3:

Many radio stations run on computers these days. How are your computer skills?

I dont' know. I use my home computer, but I don't think that counts, does it?

It counts big if you're using it do do audio production. Have you played with GoldWave or Audacity or any other of that ilk? Spreadsheets, e-mail and word processing are valuable skills to have for for front-office work at a station.

Oh, no. I've never dabbled w/ that stuff. I was hoping to get hired on my good looks, winning smile & personality & love of rock music!
