WQCS Hiring Sales Account Associate

WQCS Public Radio is searching for a sales person who believes that the art of the relationship matters more than the art of the deal; who gets excited by discussing the quality of the audience, rather than living by the latest rating number, and who is passionate about the community service mission of public radio.   We need a creative professional who is comfortable closing agreements with business and non-profit industry leaders.  We’re looking for someone with a proven track record of meeting and exceeding sales goals.  A broadcast sales background is beneficial, but you could also come from other sales fields, such as public relations, marketing, or non-profit development.    Requirements include a Bachelor’s degree, plus three or more years of successful experience in goal-oriented sales.   You can read the complete WQCS job description and fill out an official application at www.irsc.edu/humanresources.  IRSC is an EEO/ADEA/ADA/GINA/Veterans Preference/Drug-Free Workplace Employer.   Indian River State College does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, nationality, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, marital status, veteran status, or genetic information in its programs and activities, including employment.

WQCS Serves Treasure Coast for 30 Years

On March 23rd 2012, WQCS celebrated the 30th anniversary of signing on the air.   During the past three decades, the station has sought to serve our communities with a high quality of service.  WQCS is the only broadcaster on the Treasure Coast that offers local public service information, emergency weather alerts and warnings, hurricane recovery information, local and state news and feature stories, educational programs, classical and jazz music, youth music showcases, local weather information, three digital channels, and a web site to allow you to stream audio and podcasts, all free of charge.     We appreciate the many persons who listen to make WQCS the second most popular station among all radio listeners in our region, as well as the most popular station weekday mornings among listeners 35 years old and up.   Unfortunately, due to the loss of funding from the state of Florida, local economic conditions, and the cutbacks in national grants over the past few years, we will be making some changes to our national programming schedule this year. We must make tough decisions to reduce or eliminate some fine programs that no longer fit our budget.    Thank you for your generous contributions to financially support non-commercial programming in our area.  You can still help by:     ·        JOIN NOW  if you are not currently a member.
