RADIO CONNECTION GRADS AND
MENTORS
DISCUSS HOW OUR PROGRAM GOT THEM HIRED
____________________________________________________
In March of 1993 I decided to pursue a career in radio and
the first place I came was to Philadelphia. In June of 1993 I started
at a school WIOQ also known as Q102 and I didn’t know the first thing
about radio. I couldn’t tell you the difference between a card machine
or a real deck. But I knew I wanted to be in this business. So I came
to Philadelphia and I started an internship here through Career
Connection. During the course of time between June of 1993 and today I
spent a year in Philadelphia. I graduated from Career Connection and I
immediately landed not too far away in Southern New Jersey. Since that
time I have learned so much about radio that I couldn’t buy an
education lie that. It’s been wonderful for me. It wasn’t for me to get
to where I am today. It was a long road and it started a long time ago.
In June of 1991 I was in Sophomore College in San Diego California. And
I wasn’t a good student. I was just kind of passing time waiting to go
to work for my father in the family insurance business. And my dad kind
of unexpectedly passed away. Now at an internship program and I came
here once a week and I went through a radio program. Unlike a typical
trade school, they sent me through a complete program of books, manuals
but more importantly it was on the job training and I got to work with
the equipment in a real radio station as opposed to some studio and
some strange building somewhere. And after 9, 10 months of it I really
knew my way around a radio station and not just one facet of radio, I
was able to learn every thing. I learnt about news and I learnt about
go on air personalities and I learnt about production and commercial
making. I learnt about traffic and I learnt about every facet of
it, satellites and computers, the whole bit. In this experience I got
through Career Connection enabled me to get a job immediately. I made
one tape and one resume on completion of my course and within 2 weeks I
had my first job and that was a year ago, almost exactly a year ago
now. And I have been having a blast ever since. I love waking up
everyday. I can’t wait to see what the day holds and my job is just
fantastic. It’s really neat and I have no idea how far it’s going to
leave but I know it’s going to be fun the rest of the way.

I
have started a new career at the ripe old age of 49. Jim Petulla was
Career Connection and Mr. Bob Jones are both excellent people in my
opinion. Career connection, if you abide by what they tell you in the
training material there is no way that you can go wrong and these
people will open doors for you that you couldn’t ordinarily get into
your self. You just couldn’t walk into one of these places and say hey
I want to train to be a radio disc jockey or I want to train to be this
or that, you just can’t do it. These people do have the inside
connections to do this and they will get you in a place and put you
through mentor trainingship and in most cases you will be employed by
the people who train you. Alan - Radio Connection Student
