10 REASONS TO PUT YOUR RESUME AND AIRCHECK ON A CD

10. You want to impress program directors and prospective employers with the fact that you are a high tech individual ready for today’s hot radio job market.

9.  You want your resume to arrive at its destination in perfect condition, rather than dog-eared, coffee-stained, or bent out of shape.

8. You want your resume to be able to be passed on to others as the colorful file you created, not as faded out photocopies of a black and white printout.

7. You want to make sure you always have a copy in case you meet that perfect someone that can help your career advancement – and you are not at your computer.

6. You want to include extra pages with your resume, such as references, demo, audition tape, radio station samples, call letters, photos, or a link to your web site.

5. You want the PD you just met on the plane to be able to see your work NOW, on the nearest laptop, not after he gets back to his office where he might have tons of messages waiting and a chance to forget about you.

4. You are in the field of entertainment, voice overs, news, disc jockey, dj, etc. and your resume requires audio files and pages of attachments that look more inviting in an organized format than printed out or emailed.

3. You want it to stand out from other radio aircheck resumes when received.

2. You want to make sure your resume and radio aircheck gets the attention it deserves.

And the number one reason you should put your resume on a Radio Aircheck CD is

1. – You want the job!


Keep it simple: The CD has the power to deliver a high-impact, full-blown media presentation with sights, sounds, bells and whistles. Grab the program director's attention with a brief introduction, get your point across and provide a URL link and contact info. The CD is self-executing, so all the viewer has to do is insert the CD into their ROM drive sit back and view the presentation. Your resume is online ready to print.
