So I go in for my interview yesterday, and I said, "God, if this is meant to be, just let it flow." That was smart thinking, huh?
Yeah it was! The guy loved me and wants me back for a second interview. Yay! However, it will be a lengthy interview process primarily because the FCC (Fed Communications Commission for you foreigners) requires 30 days from the date of posting before anyone can be hired. So, they've got three interviews before they hire someone. I've made it to the second round and unless lightening strikes, I'll make it to the third.
The great, great, great news is that this radio station - oh, I better tell you what the job is - the job I applied for is Account Manager, i.e. radio ad sales. Ok, so this radio station is part of a radio conglomerate that owns 42 some radio stations, all privately held by a broadcaster in WI who loves the business and wants to keep making a lot of money with it. But, did you catch the important part there - PRIVATELY HELD. Family business. No stockholders! No CEO and Board of Directors! No Corporate Evil!
YAY!!!!
Salary, benefits, commission plus extensive training and current accounts to manage while I'm looking for new business. Per-effing-fect. ("Perfect," for those of you not up on my personal lingo.)
Someone's happy. :)

SO what? I told ya you'd be fine! ;)
Way to go!!!
Yea! That's PDN! (Pretty Damn Nice for those of you who know I am a copycatter who makes up things!) Really, I am very happy for you. I know your present job just hasn't been that fulfilling or satisfying. Plus I know money isn't a huge deal if you love what you are doing, but a crappy job with no benefits makes Laura a dull girl!
Congratulations Grrrl!
We all had faith in you and knew you'd do it. Up and at 'em for the next round.
Good job Sista...you get the good inteviewing skills from me.
Yeah, but I got my good spelling genes from someone else, obviously, unless "inteviewing" is something new I've never heard of.

SO, ONCE AGAIN, YOU'RE GOING TO BE RADIO ACTIVE!! ANY GOOD DJ JOBS I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT??? (BG)
Any news? once again you have me in suspenders.
heya! family business still have CEO's and boards of directors. You're not getting off scot free, missy. Good luck!
Ah, the pitiful truth spoken, as usual, by the fabulous Miss Blithe. It is true that even family-owned businesses suffer from the top-heavy corporate mentality, but I'm happy to report that the guy who owns these radio stations is a radio guru whose passion guides him more than his pocketbook. Or so I was told. Hm! We shall see.....
