ICR Search NW for jobs.

Inishowen Community Radio in Carndonagh is searching for people to take part in a new radio series proposed for the late Autumn. ICR is looking for a total of eight "reality radio" stars who are successfully self-employed, employed, employers or entreprenneurs.

The programes are provisionally called 'Just the Job' and are all about people working full time in interesting careers in the North West. Producer of the series, Rachal Blech, is hoping that the programmes will reflect a day in the life of people who are passionate and enthusiastic about their work - whatever it might be. The programe style will be like 'reality TV for radio' in that we will be recording the person at work, their daily routine and the situations that happen. This means that we are looking for unconventional jobs with interesting sound effects, locations and unusual hours. The key factor is that we want to attract young listeners to the programme so the participants must have lots of personality, be chatty and articulate, well-informed and keen to offer advice on thier chosen career path for younger listeners. The objective of the series is to present a variety of financially viable career options that school-levers and graduates might never have thought about or had a chance to explore

Each programme will offer expert advice on the specific careers portrayed and will have a panel offering advice on further education and training aptitudes. qualifications, salaries, grants available and local opportunities.

A small fee will be paid to individuals or businesses who take part in the sereies. If you are an employee, then you will have to have permission from your employer to take part in the programmes and record activiites on their premises. If you would like to be considered for one of the programmes please ring 0749370782 or send an email to rachelblech@iolfree.ie with your contact telephone number, job title and information about what a day in your life at work might consist of. Potential cnadidates will be selected early in May.
