If you’ve decided to become a TV reporter or anchor, or if you are already
in a TV job, what you are reading could help your career make a quantum leap! |
Will Your Tape Achieve “Select” or “Eject”?
Unfortunately, most reporters never have a chance at their dream TV job because their resume tapes are rejected out of hand.
Most resume tapes don’t make it fifteen seconds before they get popped out of the news director’s machine!
Will your resume tape make the cut? Is your standup/live shot montage going to hook a news director, or will it be the reason that your tape is ejected? Do you have the right “look” to be on air? Are you targeting the right markets in your search for a TV job?
This veteran news director will help you answer
these questions and more with a personalized and thorough tape critique.
Look for Credentials
 John Wessling was a news director at four stations
in more than twenty years in TV news. Some of his stations have posted extraordinarily high ratings
for local news. He’s hired more on-air people than he will ever be able to count.
John knows what it takes to get the TV jobs that so many people are dreaming of.
As a news director, many times John would get calls from candidates looking for on-air
positions in news, sports, and weather. They wanted to know what he thought of their resume tapes.
More often than not, like most news directors, John had to say that he had looked at 200 or 300 tapes for
an open position and only had time to watch the very best ones from start to finish. That is often the answer
you will get, if you can even get through to the news director!

opportunities for improvement.

If your tape needs work, I will be as specific as possible about how to go about making improvements.

map out a strategy for your TV job search. Together, you and John will
target potential markets and news directors, and he will help you make
sure your tape goes to the people who can really make your career take off!

from an also-ran into the top candidate for the TV job of your dreams.
