Looking to break into radio? Don't be shy, don't hold yourself back. Always go for the jobs you don't think you're good enough for. It's OK to doubt yourself but don't let it stop you. Let others judge your ability & potential. #piptip

Been rejected by a radio station you want to work for? Lots of people work in radio work for stations that have said no to them in the past. Pick yourself up from the rejections and the knock backs and go again. A door closed today can be opened tomorrow #piptip

Many people don't like the sound of their own voice or listening back to themselves. Wish to work in radio on air? This is something you will have to overcome. It's vital you listen to your own work. Ask what works & what doesn't? Don't shy away from listening to yourself #piptip

Looking for your break into radio? The biggest of careers can start with the smallest of opportunities so say yes to every opportunity that comes your way. Your aim is to get in a radio station, meet the bosses and show them what you can do. You can evolve from the inside #piptip

Radio is a very small industry where everybody knows each other. A good reputation can go a long way & open doors for you so work hard to create one. Be polite, be friendly, charm & impress people from day one #piptip

If you want to be a radio presenter then ALWAYS have a demo prepared to apply for a job or to be critiqued. Record every bit of radio you do, constantly pick out your best bits & keep your demo fresh & updated. Be ready to apply if an opportunity in radio appears today. #piptip

If you make a mistake on the air, forget about it. Don't dwell on it and don't let it spoil the rest of your show. Thinking about it will make you make more. Move on, your audience will very quickly. #piptip

Presenters, whenever you walk into a radio studio to present your show you should have planned & prepped content ready to engage & entertain your listeners. No planned content = no reason to listen to you. #piptip

Be as relatable as you can to your audience. Talk about what they are talking about, talk about things they care about. Talking about something that is not relatable will have very little impact. The more relatable you are, the more people will listen #piptip

Don't spend time & effort to create a demo to then do nothing with it. Get it out there, get it heard & get some honest feedback. Your challenge is to find people in radio who can spot your potential, like what you do & offer you an opportunity. They won't come to you. #piptip

If you're looking for your break into radio then use every rejection and knockback to fuel your determination to find your break. Don't be angry or bitter, that it will just hold you back. Accept it, go again and prove people wrong #piptip

Sending your demo to a radio station? Grab the attention of who is listening immediately. Make sure the very first thing heard is you. No jingles, no music. Do not make the person listening wait to hear you. #piptip

Presenters, always put the maximum effort into every show you present. You never ever know who is listening & your show is your biggest demo & the best platform to show off what you can do. Make the most of it. #piptip

Presenters, before you start talking, know what the purpose of your link is & the point you are going to make. That's your foundation on which to build your link. A presenter who talks with purpose & makes a clear point will always be more engaging to their audience #piptip

Presenters, you will be given scripts to read during your show to promote competitions and other shows. You need to avoid sounding like you are reading from paper. Plan and practice how to bring the words alive and sell to your audience. #piptip

Want to break into radio? Listen to your radio idol, learn from your radio idol but do not try to be your radio idol. Radio already has them but does it already have you? Be unique, be different, be you. #piptip

Want to work in radio? Never stop listening & never stop learning. There is always something to improve on and there is always someone you can learn from. Never act like you know it all. You don't and you never will. Keep pushing yourself. #piptip

Presenters, work hard to make your content stand out. The more your content stands out and impacts with your audience the more you stand out and the greater the chance of you getting noticed. Do more than just talk, get creative. #piptip
