Most stations are looking for sales people-- it's a very high energy and
demanding job, and people either succeed big-time or fail miserably, based
on what I have seen.  The burn out rate is very high.   I wonder how
CBS/WBZ (whose ad I heard the other day-- 'we will choose the best 50
letters'-- you have to write an essay of 100 words of less persuading them
to interview you...) will do with finding account execs.  Based on all the
press Mel gets for being a difficult guy to work for, you would have to
really be an achiever to last at one of his stations, it seems to me...
