Clear Channel Radio Kicks Off Initiative to Assist Unemployed Listeners
New Program Dedicates Airtime for Local Job Seekers to Reach Employers
SAN ANTONIO, TX – May 20, 2009 – Clear Channel Radio launched a new initiative this week to help local listeners who are seeking employment to market their skills and unique features on the air to attract the attention of employers with available positions.
Twenty-one Clear Channel Radio stations across the nation will encourage listeners seeking employment to visit their websites and submit entries via an online form. Each station will choose five entrants per week to record their own thirty second radio resume where they will provide basic personal information and qualifications, and direct interested employers to the station’s website where the entrants’ full resumes will be posted.
“We realize this is a difficult time for many individuals and families and want to support our listeners who are out of work in any way we can,” said John Hogan, President and CEO of Clear Channel Radio. “Radio is all about community and serves as the perfect platform to connect job seekers with employers. We hope that job seeking listeners will take advantage of this special opportunity.”
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, nonfarm payroll employment continued to decline in April with another 539,000 jobs lost, and the unemployment rate rose to 8.9 percent. Since the recession began in December 2007, 5.7 million jobs have been lost.
The following stations are the first to implement this program:
- WMXD-FM Detroit, MI
- WIHT-FM Washington, D.C.
- WUBL-FM Atlanta, GA
- KKRW-FM Houston, TX
- KOA-AM Denver, CO
