DCUfm recruitment thread

I meant to sign up for this last year, but I think I was under the impression you had to be a Communications student or something.

This year, though, I'll be repeating parts of second year (:o) so I'll have some free time, and I'd like to get involved - is it just a case of joining the MPS on Clubs and Socs day and going from there?

ya thats all ya have to do! from there you will be on e-mail lists and whatnot and there will more than likely be a FM meeting either before or after clubs and socs day that will be plastered around the campus in the form of posters!

This. I'm a Science student and I'm involved with it as much as possible. MPS welcomes everyone, and I mean everyone. I could easily have been brushed aside for some Communications or Journalism student, but instead I was welcomed with open arms

If you've any interest in radio (even as a thing on the side), you should join DCUfm. Plus, it looks great on the CV:D

Thanks to everybody for chiming in! DCUfm LOVES getting people who are doing varied degrees, because we can always use them for some show or other. Join MPS!

Right, so we are ready to go and start accepting your applications to be part of DCUfm!

Below is quoted the "Get Involved" page from DCUfm.com. Please read!

DCUfm is always on the lookout for new volunteers to join the team.

Whether it’s news, sport, music, arts, talk or Irish language programmes, we want to hear from you. You can join as a presenter, or work behind the scenes editing or producing if you prefer.

What we’re looking for:
Commitment and reliability. Don’t say you’re going to do something if you’re not likely to be available.
You can do as much or as little as you like, but be clear about what times you are / aren’t free.
Radio listeners. To know what good radio sounds like, you should be a regular radio listener.

Interested in a music show? Specify what specific genres you like and what bands you enjoy. Don’t say you like “all types” of music!

No previous experience is required – for many of our volunteers DCUfm is their first foray into the radio world. If you have recordings of previous work you’ve done, email your MP3s to us too. If the file is too big to attach, use websites like SendSpace or YouSendIt to upload the file and send us the link.

Once you have read the above, please click bit.ly/DCUfmApplication to start filling out the form. I know it's a bit long, but it used to be LOTS longer. We used to make people make an actual calendar of when they were free! Now, with the magic of the internet, you simply need to send us a link to your timetable. Magic!

Note that filling out this form does not mean you are exempt from attending any mandatory meetings held by DCUfm. There is a VERY important meeting at the start of the year where we explain how things work, and detail how training is going to work.

Filling out this form just means you get your interest in early, and we get a headstart on building up schedules.

I'm in the station at the moment if anybody wants to drop by to say "hi" and ask any questions you have, in person!

slasher_65

Just to give people a quick heads-up of where we are now - We have had a wonderfully large number of people click through and fill out their details, but we still have room for more! If you want to be part of DCUfm this coming year, you need to click HERE and fill out the form.

Hop to it!
