- Format: Today, web links are the most popular and expedient manner for delivering resume "tapes". However if you'd like to submit a DVD, we will accept it.
- File length: 15 minutes maximum should be your guideline.
- In your email to us, include your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
- Include a rundown of your video contents in your email.
- Avoid music and countdowns at the beginning of your video.
- If you do begin with a montage, it should include no more than 3 to 5 short examples of stand-ups
and a live shot. Some of these stories should follow.
- A musical montage is not appropriate.
- Some of your best work should be at the top of the video.
- Be objective when choosing your material. Select stories that best represent your talents.
Remember, just because you broke a story or feel strongly about a particular segment does not mean it is your best work!
- Customize your video. For example, if you are submitting a video for a position as an
anchor/reporter, your anchoring examples should precede your reporting.
- Anchors - show some personality! Remember that tosses and interaction on set are an
important aspect of an anchoring position.
- Reporters - make sure you are in the stories you submit, especially at the head of your video.
We do understand that in some cases an excellent story may not contain a stand-up.
However, when submitting a tape, please ensure there is a stand-up in every story unless
you are extremely confident that the exception is justified.
- Include a resume as a MS Word or Text document. Make sure your resume is professional, current, accurate and preferably one page in length.
- Professional references should be included on a separate page.
- Please inform us of your specific goals, professionally and geographically.
