This is a picture of an actual job board at the RTNDA@NAB convention. That is, the meeting of the Radio and Television News Directors Association, happening in Las Vegas. I saw only two of these boards along a fairly transited hallway. Not surprising, given the state of the industry. It is actually hard to believe that somebody could land a job this way nowadays. It is also odd to see it in a conference where most people are drumming up digital media stuff.
Isn’t it a sad sight? And not just because it is a traditional, cork-backed, bulletin board.Granted, the board has some CDs hanging from it but it is unlikely that some of them belong to multimedia folks. One may think that those are operating along the social networks. The question is: what are are the execs looking at, the bulletin board on the wall or at the other wall, you know, in the social net? Go figure.
Luckily, the good folks at CNN seem to be hiring here:
