– Josh Suchon

Reporter, Los Angeles Dodgers Radio Network

"Jon Chelesnik (STAA CEO) and I talked my last semester of college back in September. I had the STAA website recommended to me. Not just the postings but being able to have my Talent Page that anyone can refer to at click of button--that people can access very quickly at any time of day. It is a really valuable tool. I really got a lot of helpful advice and guideance from STAA."

–Eric Kopp

Public Relations Manager and Play-by-Play Announcer

“The Talent Page STAA constructed for me has helped a ton,” Moses says. “I went to the winter meetings with CDs but I also took business cards that had my Talent Page address on them. I sent my page link all over the country. It is 10 times easier than having CDs and going to the post office.”

–Bryan Moses

Media Relations Manager, Boise Hawks Baseball Club

"There is no doubt in my mind that STAA was the difference between me being the person hired for this position and just another strong candidate or also-ran. (Mile High's) Tim Neverett said as much to me in the interview, saying, 'When Jon Chelesnik sends a guy to you, you take a really serious look at him.'  At that minute, I knew that I had made the best choice possible by going with STAA.  It helped me to find the job the day it was posted, get my résumé along with on-air clips to Tim that day, and be hired just two weeks later."

–Jordan Duvall

Play-by-Play Announcer, Amarillo Gorillas (Central Hockey League)

“Pretty much everything that is on the STAA website (the job posting and the Talent Page) is how I got the job. If it weren’t for the website, (station GM) Tom Mogush probably never would have heard of me. I want to thank STAA for the job board and for their services. If it wasn’t for STAA I wouldn’t be going to Marquette right now.”

–Casey Ford

News/Sports Director, ESPN Radio 970, Marquette, MI

"STAA played a huge role (in my landing my job). Having my resume and aircheck online in the STAA Talent Search not only helped the Osprey get a chance to listen to what I had, but also to listen to other people and compare to see what they were going to get in a play-by-play guy. Having that contact with STAA is huge."

-Rob Buska
