I work in radio. Once upon a time I was just a presenter but my current station I present, produce, run the website, do marketing & PR, run the promotions and am sales support.

It's extremely stressful, work long hours (70hrs is a good week!) and the pay doesn't reflect this. That said, I do love it. They're really struggling without me and I keep doing bits to help out which I know I shouldn't whilst I'm off. I'm scared of going back. Things will have changed so much by the time I have to return and I won't have the time to be as dedicated so worried I'll be deemed to be shite when I go back.

Gem I want your Job! I left my job working for a charity when I was 8 weeks gone. I was doing work for my friend Esther who's a singer/songwriter. Mostly maintaining her website, looking after her fb pages etc. Would've loved to get into the promotions side of the music business, not for big labels probably small labels. But I have no idea!
Nursing was always my goal but just before I left for uni in London I got really ill.
Right now I'm not working, it's not great at all :/

When I say promotions I would love to say it was promoting artists on the music side. Unfortunately the reality was promotions like organising the opening of a new Aldi, giving away a car at a local dealer or organising a school tour. I come up with the ideas, create a pitch and presentation for the sales team but sometimes end up in front of clients and sell it myself. Then I'd process the order, write the scripts, sometimes edit audio for the advert, create the online promotion to run alongside it, staff the event, book in whatever is needed to make it work (lighting, audio/visual, catering - could be anything!) health and safety risk assessments, book the presenters/promo crew/engineer/, create a briefing document for staff/presenters and finally half the time I'd present the thing myself on the mic down at the specific event.

At any one time I'd have 10 booked promotions like this running alongside one another and I'd be pitching out another 10 in the course of a week. It's so stressful keeping on top of everything and then come 4pm I'd run down to the studio to co-host the drivetime show every day. The marketing and PR for the station I'd end up working on at night or weekends but I constantly maintain the Facebook/twitter pages for the station - even now.

Ahh just typing that out makes me miss it a bit! (I must be mad).
