Through all of my jobs, I learned how to be social and personable. I'm very good at starting up conversations without being overbearing, and also good and listening to them tell their stories. All of my jobs gave me something to offer through radio, but I think that my internship at XTU gave me the most. I learned how to be effective in the way that you talk to listeners, and how to keep them interested in your station. They also taught me that organization is very important, and that promotions play a key part in sales in broadcasting. Promotions allows businesses to get a little more traffic to enter and also gets people to realize what great businesses are out there. All of my other jobs helped with experience as well. At Subway, I had to help with money management and inventory, which is good to learn anywhere. Also, waitressing helps teach a person how to deal with people they don't like because there are some bratty people who will seat at your table, while you have to grin and take the abuse. Even when they leave a really bad tip, you just learn that everything will even out eventually and just take the hits as they come.

Even though most of my experience in jobs aren't with radio, they still are experiences and can be applied to any job that a person is looking for, as long as you think creatively how they benefit you.
