The "book me a job & I'll buy you dinner" contest

[othniel77.livejournal.com]

As someone who lives by The Opportunist Creed ("Use what you can to get what you want"), I'm throwing this out there for the hail of it.

Here's my resume. If you're someone who has connections in the Boston-area radio/entertainment industry, and can print this off and throw this in your contact person/HR director's mailbox, and it ends up netting me employment, I buy you dinner @ the restaurant of your choice. Here goes:
