10 Questions with ... Randi MylesBRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
I'm a Motown Radio Chick who has managed to love what I do for over 30 years.
1. What question do your colleagues ask you the most?
How in the world have you managed to stay in the business? To that I say, "Learn it all!" This business can be fleeting. But while you're in it ... learn all you can about all departments. Even the front desk - yep, done that, too! - because "knowledge is power," as they say.
2. Have any jobs outside of commercial radio helped your career?
My teaching experience at Specs Howard is one of those jobs. I wouldn't know how to deal with the inner workings of stations, personalities, budgets or anything else without that experience. But also, one of my very first jobs was as a collection agent for the gas company. I'd call and tell them their gas would be cut off in five days if they didn't pay their bill or make arrangements. After I got cussed out, I'd also be told, "You have a great voice" or "You should go into radio."
