New STAA Member Makeover posted

Are you beginning to doubt your abilities as a sports broadcaster because you’re submitting job applications, but not even getting to the interview stage? You feel like you’re shouting into a void.

Most likely, it is not your ability holding you back, but rather a series of easy-to-fix mistakes in your demo, resume, and cover letter.

In this Member Makeover, STAA reviews the application package and job market strategy of Samantha Waddell, a television Sports Reporter in Houston, TX, working to break into sportscasting.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this makeover:

The danger of presenting ambiguous career goals to employers
Why you should include an uncut interview segment on your reel
How you can make it easier for employers to evaluate your TV reel
The info you should be highlighting in your resume work experience
How to cut the fluff and get to the point in your cover letter
