Hi. I'm looking for advice to land my first chief gig. I have over 8 years exp. with the last 4 in top 40 markets. However, I don't have any management exp. I'm seeking a job in the 50-100 market range. Is it realistic to get a job in this range with my exp.? If any of you would not mind sharing how you got your first chief job and what market size it was that would help me alot. Also, do you think it's better to stay at a station you like and "move up the ladder" after several years or apply at a new station for the chief job? I'm quite happy where I'm at now but the chief job seems light years away. I feel I'm ready to lead and teach a photo staff. Any insight would be a great help to me in deciding what my next career move might be.
