Topic Name: Needed: Resume Tape
Message Name: Are you still near the internship
Date Posted: 05/10/2005
In Reply To: I just graduated and finished an internship at a station where the rules were constantly changing and yet I emerged with no resume tape because they wanted to keep me at the assignment desk. Any suggestions on how I can go about getting a tape now. I saw a place one that does the whole thing and somewhat coaches you as well. I'm willing to make the monetary sacrifice to get a quality product since it is an investment. But if I could avoid paying for it that would be good too. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Message: If you are still where you interned then try to tag along with a reporter for a few days, ask the photographer to shoot you some stand ups and seek the help of an editor. If you were a good intern and made some friends at the station it shouldn't be a problem. They may be a bit busy for the next couple of weeks with sweeps, but maybe you can do it on the weekends. If you did a good job they'll want to help you.
