Looking for a talk show producer, with a PROVEN track record, for a 20-hour a week, ENTRY LEVEL position? Uh huh, sure. Let me get roght on that one. NOT!

Here's the "Y" I left out of the title of the thread. I guess they won't be hiring me, huh?!?!

You should get RIGHT on proof reading your own posts... roght??

They won't hire you twice.. LOL

Boi izn't dat roght....

Maybe, it's the talk station in Seattle that has the proven track record.

I think you nailed it. Outsider's point remains that it is poorly worded, sorta' like the old joke, "My dad once shot an elephant in his pajamas." (Reply)"What was the elephant doing in your dad's pajamas."

Was your dad Groucho Marx?

Actually, it sounds like what their looking for, is sopmeone with a medium amount of experience, desperate enough to take an entry level position.

But a "medium amount of experience" is not likely to give someone "a proven track record for booking market exclusive A-list guests, producing compelling radio content and managing top rated talk shows through excellent leadership, creative and professional skills". The ad should read like this:

"Are you aware of the current radio job climate? Do you know that you qualify for a respectable position with a respectable wage, but have come to the point where you're willing to take anything at all? Then we have the job for you! Come be underappreciated in a corporate environment where talent is cherished, but not rewarded. Use your skill at booking A-list guests while you eat Top Ramen. Make sure to make friends with the morning guy so he'll let you crash on his couch! Send your materials today!"

Are you aware of the current radio job climate?
I thought the current job market as a whole stunk?!

No, there are still some good radio jobs out there. (I happen to feel that I have one of them).

And frankly, there are some who would prefer to work part-time, despite their experience level. Everything isn't always black and white.

And everything isn't always serious either. I was just joking around.

Hey, Shane, I caught your humor. My response is a general response to this thread.

there should be way more jobs for radio stations. me and darktemper were just talking about this its becuase of corperations they want to own everything and just keep all of the jobs. darktemper was right when he said clear channel stands for CorperateChannel.

The more common nickname is "CheapChannel". However, my experience with the company (2001-2005) was not that.

oh yah but darktemper calls it corperate channel i think its funnier. but cheapchannel is pretty good to.

Ignore Jacquel the trollette.

the only kind of entry-level position i like is fucking my wife doggy-style on the bathroom floor

i see some of those ads on oab and i wonder the same thing.
