Now Hiring?

When I first enrolled in Hesser College, I had the whole mindset that the education would help make me a better person and land me a better job. With my background and personality, I felt that if I focused directly on a certain goal and subject, I would be a monster who employers would take seriously after I graduated.

I wanted to get into radio and video broadcasting due to my love for sports. I am sure you all understand that by now. I really wouldn't mind being a radio personality or a sports broadcaster, but I am open for behind-the-scenes jobs and just being involved in the industry. Whether working for ESPN, NESN, Comcast, SportsNet, Fox sports, CBS or some type of sports affiliated station, whether radio or TV, I want a job in sports. If not sports, I want to be well-rounded and experienced enough to get into music or movies, or work for a TV station. I have tried to put myself out there and gain as much experience as possible.

Now, I've been starting to apply for jobs, with a more pronounced resume that I feel comfortable with. Sure, I could use more experience, but in order to get more experience you need experience--go figure. The recession seems to still be having its effect on the economy, and whatever it is that's causing it, hopefully it will get better and businesses will start hiring. I have gotten by to this point, and hopefully soon, something will fall through. I am a bit nervous. There are jobs out there, but it's very difficult to even get an interview.

Even with someone like me, with my sales experience and my abilities, I have tried to get a job in sales for the time being until I finish school. Even that has been a hard thing to do.

Honestly, I have not even received calls for sales jobs. Even though I shouldn't, I am starting to take it personally, and I'm thinking something is wrong with me. I just want a job; something to hold me over with pay even if its $10-$12/hour.

I go to school and I have my internship, and I would be more than happy to work full time or part time. Eventually, I want to get a paying job really soon in the business that I am pursuing. I'd love to run a camera or just help out somewhere for moderate pay. I want more experience and generally would like to get paid. I feel I am just about there, and something will come soon. I am trying, and I am applying. Lets hope I get a call.
