VEGAS!!!

I had the time of my life at the RTNDA conference in Las Vegas.  I was so lucky to meet various news directors, although many of them were not hiring.  I still loved that I was granted the opportunity to network and gained the experience of talking face-to-face with these people.  Another part of the conference I enjoyed was having my website critiqued, as I learned many suggestions for improving my montage.

The main suggestion was to pick one hair-style and stick with it!  I was surprised this would be the most interesting and useful suggestion.  I was thrilled that the news director I met with liked what I showed him, saying my work looked very professional in comparison to other work he had seen.  I definitely talked up KOMU, stressing the fact that we are a commercial station.  He loved hearing about it.  

I would go back to the conference in a heart beat, just for the opportunity to network again.  Although it was disappointing that most if not all of the news directors were not hiring, it was still a great opportunity to get to meet and chat with them.  I had a fun time getting to know my peers better as well.  The trip was a hit!
