How can I improve my chances of being hired at Townsquare Media?
I have been on air at townsquare every weekend, every holiday and fill in on every day part (at a moments notice) for ten years now. At townsquare that is worth minimum wage. Thats right, actual minimum wage for 10 years of loyal service. So if you want to work at tsm prepare for low wages. Also remember that the only good ideas come from home office. local decision making is rare. Most imortantly if you want to work in radio at tsm the most important thing you can do is social media. Thats right, tsm owns hundreds of radio stations but your facebook posts are more important than on air. So talk about your social media strategies alot and they will be more interested in you.
