Just wanted to issue public congratulations to one of my clients, Caitlin McLaughlin. Caitlin has been working as a producer in Gainesville, Florida and will be heading north to join WDIV in Detroit.
For those of you scoring at home, that is a whopping jump of 151 markets!
Caitlin is a marvelous young writer and I know she'll do well... and being from Maine, she'll probably enjoy getting out of the sweltering Florida heat.
By the way, she's not even 25 yet, and already will be working in a major market. This should tell you that anything in this business is possible, so when people tell you that you must start in a certain size market, or where you should be in your second job, just ignore them. You have nothing at all to lose by sending a tape to any station. Caitlin certainly discovered that the sky's the limit if you have talent, and that age and experience can often be trumped if you have more than the other candidates.
