My First Job Interview

I am pretty excited due to the fact that I recently got an interview for an internship with KNBR 680. They are a very popular sports talk radio station that represent relevant sports teams in the bay area such as the Golden State Warriors, San Francisco Giants and San Francisco 49ers. Being that I am a broadcast journalism major, and an unbelievably huge sports fan, I was ecstatic after finding out that I would even get a shot to interview to work for a place like KNBR.

As we all know, the world of journalism is not a thriving business at the moment. In fact, some forms of journalism are fearing closure. This being said, I think that there will always be a place for talk radio and sports talk radio. The reason being that people are always going to want to voice their opinion about their favorite sports teams and how they are being run. Having listened to KNBR pretty much everyday, I have seen the huge following that they have throughout the greater bay area. Every show, from 5 a.m. until 7 p.m. has people calling in frequently.

I was very excited after walking into the 11th floor of the Cumulous office buildings. Right away, I saw the radio show and all the personalities that I have enjoyed listening to so often. I think I did pretty well in the interview so hopefully I will be a future KNBR employee who can live my dream of working in the field of sports and journalism.

Good job overall, but tighten it up (see examples below). I hope you get an offer.

Capitalize "Bay Area"

Tighten it up:
As a broadcast journalism major, and an unbelievably huge sports fan... (Not "Being that I am a broadcast journalism major...")

That's because people are always going... (not "The reason being that people are always...")

8.5/10
