Was this Frank's job? I heard he was retiring...

No, Frank was the General Manager. And yes, he has retired.
Promotions Director is a new full-time position. The station has had people perform promotions duties in the past, along with their regular duties, but this position will ensure that the promotional aspects get their proper due.
Could be a fun job for the right person.

Hmm. This job does not sound like me. I do not have any of the qualifications. But soon (mid may) I will be back on PE, over educated and underemployed. So perhaps it is time to stop worrying about what is "me" and start worrying about removing myself from financial worry.

How essential is the "loves people and the limelight" aspect and the "driving in a van" in a parade and the emcee part?
I applied for this job when it was advertised on HRDC but they didn't mention those parts. They also said nothing about having to be ambitious.

I am not really sure, Laura. I believe the expectation is that this position will be more than a behind-the-scenes type affair, and that there will be some degree of on-air and in-public representation-of-the-radio-stations going on. But how much, I don't know.

I think Laura and Sydney are both ideal for this position. The only thing is to determine who is most "qualified". The obvious solution would be a mud-wrestling match, but when you give it some thought, baby-oil wrestling has some redeeming factors as well.

Shit,shit,shit... I did it again Sidney. I spelled your name wrong. It's like the word 'because'. Ever since I learned how to(mis)spell, I spell it 'becouse'.
You should still wrestle though.
