STRAIGHT TALK FROM CURRENT AND
FORMER
RADIO CONNECTION STUDENTS AND MENTORS

What I liked about Career Connections was that Chuck was a
very open minded person when it comes to his doing it. He knows what he
wants to teach and he doesn’t micro manage at all. He will teach you
something and if you doing it wrong he will just tell you all right do
it this way. And what he did with me right off the bat was he got me
because when Career Connection start to give you the book to read, went
through stuff with me and put me in here in the studio to get
everything straight out. So that I wouldn’t just be looking answering
questions and everything and not be doing anything hands on. He put me
in the studio to do things hands on and one another thing that he did
was he told me about the program Pro Tools which before I had met him I
had heard about and it just looked very intimidating to use. So he just
said if you really want to do this, if you really want to get started
quickly and he said go out buy the Pro Tools and I will teach you from
here and then you can work on yourself at home. So just by suggesting
that and just like letting me come to his house everyday and use his
Pro tools he told me to get out and get mine if you really want to do
that. He put in my head that to be successful you just got to go
out and get it.

There
is a real catch 22 in the job
market today. If you read any ad in the news paper you will find 2
things all the time. The first thing is that companies want experience
and the second thing is that they are not willing to train. Well how do
you get in to the career you want if you can’t get in because you don’t
have enough schooling or you have had no time on the job? That’s a
catch 22 and Career Connections eliminates the catch 22 completely.
They give you an edge; they give you an advantage that you wouldn’t
find from traditional school. I am not knocking traditional school I am
saying that there are some people later on in life who have families
and a job, they can afford to take the time off to go to traditional
school, 4 years of college and they can afford 4 years of college. When
you get this comprehensive program from Career Connection you get some
real special things. First of all you win in the interview process. You
know in the interview process they want to know how much of the big
picture you know about this career. And more importantly if you can
master at least some of the language in the career that you are going
after you can win that interview and Career Connection gives you that
advantage that other people will never have. They probably will never
get past that point but you will with Career Connection.

I have built up the confidence because I have always like
music, I have always been into music but I never really knew if I could
talk in front of people. So when I used to read for Chuck, he used to
tell me like you just got to knock it out. You can’t be so scared about
it and he made me feel comfortable. If I would make a mistake he would
tell me you have to do this better and I didn’t know way to offend you
but in a way to know that he was trying to help you out. So anybody
that would be his students is going to feel comfortable with him and if
somebody like Chuck, that’s already telling you that you are good that
you sound good and you are going to feel good about yourself and the
more confidence you get the better you feel. Stephanie Swaazo - Radio Connection Student
