I have a face for radio. It’s the old joke in my business. Used to be anyone could get a job in MY career field, as long as one had a good voice, timing and a good sense of humor. The three traits that make a radio personality fun to listen to. Now, with the advent of social media, more and more program directors are looking for “attractive” people who look good in addition to sounding good on the radio. This isn’t just in broadcasting either. Employers are looking at your social media to see what they are getting involved with in terms of attitude and appearance before they even set up an interview with you.
In fact, attractive people are six times more likely to get that all-important interview.
Congratulations to Donna Martini of Greenwood who got today’s answer right and is off to the Buckeye Country Superfest to see the likes of Blake Shelton, George Strait and more, and is qualified for the grand prize tickets on the floor, along with George’s new album!
