Radio Program Director Resume

A radio program director resume is written by an experienced person who has a considerable work experience in the radio industry and can independently handle direction responsibilities for radio programs. The main duties of such a person are to plan a radio show (it could be a chat show, musical countdown show, celebrity interview, humor show, or other kind of show), approve the scripts for the same, schedule the show according to the available time slots, keep the radio jockey in loop, and brief him about all the details of the program. Apart from this, he is also required to know about all the commercial slots in between the programs and possess complete knowledge of the ads that are going to be featured in the program.

In terms of skills, a radio program director needs to have excellent communication abilities, as communication is his business. He also needs to be a good team leader, as he has to manage his program staff and keep them motivated throughout. He should have thorough knowledge of radio programing and scheduling; an educational background in radio production or media can come in handy here.

Following are the points that need to be kept in mind while writing any resume:

Write an error-free resume - When writing a resume, all efforts should be made towards avoiding any mistake throughout the resume. The presence of a single mistake in it can be embarrassing to you and harmful for your impression on the reader's mind. As this is an official document, it needs to be proofread before sending it to the recruiter.

Give clear headings to your resume body - It is a nice idea to divide your entire resume into separate headings and sections. This will help in clearly categorizing the information according to its nature. Suppose, if you are writing about your professional achievements, mention it under the heading - 'achievements'.

Keep it simple - It is a nice idea to keep the language and tone of the resume as simple as possible. Avoid using hard words. One can use industry related terminology. This will give the recruiter a positive impression of your knowledge about the industry.

Keep it short - A shorter, yet comprehensive, resume is what any reader looks for. Such a resume makes for crisp, to the point detailing and thus, it becomes easier for the reader to read it in quick time.
