Get your ideas heard on the radio

Last week me and my husband were listening to a programme on BBC Southern Counties radio on our way back from Essex. There was an interesting feature on redundancy and one of the ideas was to keep your CV up-to-date.

A while ago I decided to put together a "How to make the most of your CV" leaflet free to anyone interested. If, for whatever reason someone can't write their own CV, I will do it for them for 1/2 price, quoting the reference on the leaflet.

Of course when I heard the 'bit' on the radio my ears pricked up, especially when Allison Fearns asked people to call or email in to offer any snippets of advice, or hear their story. I immediately thought what a great opportunity to get my 'idea' on air. So as soon as we arrived home I sent them an email. I left the radio on and sure enough about 10 mins later she read it out, email address and all. I was really pleased. Ok so it was only a 5-second plug, but at least I got a mention and who knows!

So why not give it a try if you listen to the radio regularly and have something to 'plug'.
