Charles Murphy-Radio Professional
I'm a small town guy. I grew up in a town of 3,000 people and enjoy the small town life. I'm a guy who loves radio and loves my job. I have never worked a day in my life since 1987 when I got my first job in radio. I will show up to work on time, work to earn respect and admiration in the community, and be a credit to your organization, if I'm hired. I like meeting people, covering meetings, covering events and working long hours. I routinely work two or three nights per week covering events and news because in a small market you have to go the extra mile to serve the community. I think a radio station is vital in a small community. I think of the job to be of service to the community, and going the extra mile to serve every listener. I realize I don't have the greatest voice but I do have the ability to work hard and match any candidates effort in the job. I'm honest and objective, and I try to capture both sides of the stories I cover. I hope to hear from you and can promise you my best effort if I'm hired.
Thanks,
Charles Murphy
