Best tip, and this applies to any job you’re applying for, is to customize your resume for what that position is looking for instead of sending the same resume to everyone. There are jobs in radio that don’t require radio specific experience. I’d advise to keep an eye on what positions are open and what they are asking for. If there is something you currently don’t know how to do, learn it! Mostly though, be persistent. Most folks I know didn’t end up here on the first try. Good Luck!

I have a BA in Management. If you’re still in school, I highly recommend applying for an internship (unpaid, for school credit) or a part time promotion asst (paid, don’t have to be in school.) Both are great ways to get your foot in the door and gain experience and possibly be hired from within for a full time position. If you’ve already graduated, all of our open positions are always posted at CBSRadio.com and not all require previous radio experience.

The tickets we get for shows come from the show’s promoter. We may get some tickets up front to give away, because in doing so, we are helping promote the show. But it’s never more than a few pair. Most of the tickets we give away we don’t even know ahead of time where they will be located. Hope that makes sense. Unfortunately I can’t explain what tickets pop up for presales and on sales, radio stations have no involvement with that. I would guess the amount of presales now (radio, fan clubs, credit cards, etc.) might affect it but it would only be a guess.
