Katie Andrews, Radio Producer
MY RÉSUMÉ
Volunteer for experience
My advice for entering my profession includes volunteering at your campus radio station. Go to your community radio station and ask if they need any help. Work in the library doing some kind of stock work.
If you're at university, work at the campus paper. I've heard from people who do recruit journalism grads that it's important for them to see that kind of interest early on.
High school students should call their local radio station or TV station and ask for a tour; try and make contact and tell them you're interested in doing any kind of work.
