WTAE-TV News Director Bob Longo on resume DVDs

ADVICE from a large market News Director


Bob Longo says you want to showcase snippets from your best stand-ups or live shots in a short montage on your videotape. He agrees videotape is outdated, but so many news directors still ask for a non-returnable VHS tape when they post a job opening. He suggests you also create a resume DVD and even post your demo reel online via YouTube.
