This type of job with that type of knowledge in the private sector would net over 100k annual....what do you guys on the inside think this will net out in the corporate world.....BTW....I like the 24/7 job requirement....vacation and sick time are not an option! LOL

Three words for you: Work from home.











I just hate bringing that up all the time. (hehe)

My company won't let me! :~( 60 miles round trip per day when I am completely wired at home with a phone extension on our company system, PC with VPN connection, and the whole nine yards but only in the event I am not able to come to work. Have to be available 24/7 just like the poor sap that get's that CC job! Only I fear he will have it much much worse than I!!! LOL

He will most likely need a bed in the studio and live there from the sounds of it! So I guess he would be working from home then! LOL

Three more words: Work for yourself







And then you can work from home. (okay 7 words)

Nope...would never work...If I worked for myself I would hate my boss....he has a Bad and sometimes Quick Temper! LOL

rumor is the CC gig listed above is less than 50k.

Well....for that they will only get what they don't pay for! LOL

Hope they don't mind dead air!

SOME COMMENTS.......

.."Working knowledge of KTAR computer system(s)".

So you would already have to be employed by KTAR to have knowledge of KTAR computer systems.

...the Business Development Manager bears primary responsibility for ensuring that sellers individually and the department as a whole hit their revenue targets.
... Train new sellers.
... Provide ongoing training to the sales staff.

You get to train them and guide them, but someone else gets to hire them. but, if they fall short it's all you... rather hire my own people.

..."and must be on-call and available to respond 24/7. You must be able to climb ladders, work in small spaces and have the ability to lift 50 pounds".

Seeking midget power lifter with insomnia....

Do you have to be able to carry the 50 pounds up the ladder and put in in a small space? maybe warehouse work or firefighter is a better option.

Mostly I would assume that the stations settle for less than their "ideal" candidate. I look at it this way, if your boss is a good guy, the job is a snap. If your boss sucks, no amount of experience, passion, and dedication will make it a great experience.

Many a crappy boss has ruined a great job opportunity.
