Describe a typical day at work
I get to work and check that all is in order for me to go on air and do the necessary testing that
is needed to allow me going on air with no problems. If there are any guest that I will be
interviewing I make it a point to remind and check that they are still coming for the interview. I
also check my mail to see if there are any special messages and notices.
Best part of the job
My best part of my job is when listeners participate by calling in on air and having their say. I love
speaking to listeners
Worst aspects of the job
Preparation for each show is hard work and sometimes I cant get hold of people I am suppose to
interview due to their other commitments and I guess that’s my worst part of the job
