Radio Somero

Minttu talks about her career plans

We all know that nowadays, especially with the recession not far away, new jobs are often hard to find. As I am looking for a new career path myself at the moment, this is one topic which has been on my mind a lot recently.

Minttu knows all about the challenges of finding the right career, so she made the decision to start early. The earlier you start making contacts the better, at least that is her little philosophy.

This week she had a meeting with a radio journalist at the BBC and told him about her future career plans and aspirations.  She was even allowed to do a demo programme, although the BBC said it might be better if before she was offered a permanent job she managed to get out of nappies first.

Still, you have to admire her persistence! Minttu knows what she wants and is not afraid to go out there and get it.

Seriously, Ben Jackson is one of my oldest friends - we used to work on radio together many hundreds of years ago and we have been friends ever since. He is also an absolutely brilliant radio presenter. I promise that one day I will bring him back to Somero to meet you all.  Hear that Ben? Maybe this could be the start of a new venture altogether. What about us setting up our very own radio station in Somero? Nothing is impossible. And Minttu is ready to launch her own breakfast show...
