Expert: John A. Troland Date: 8/15/2006 Subject: How Do I Create a Talk Show Host Resume?
Question
-------------------------
Hello John,
It's interesting that you rec'd the one note I posted to review you, but didn't see the 5 notes I sent to your personal e-mail address over the past 2.5 weeks. It was after my notes went unanswered, that I became concerned and admittedly upset.
It was the lack of communication that lead me to believe that I was being ignored. If that wasn't the case, I apologize for jumping to conclusions.
In any event, I've completed my resume and no longer need your assistance.
Thank you and have a wonderful week.

Question -
Hello Mr. Troland,
I have finally lined up some agencies who specialize in promoting talk show hosts. I have to thank an expert,from this website, for that. However, I don't know how to write an "eye-catching" resume. The examples I have seen are for actors/models. I'm selling myself and the show, which I've been hosting and producing for 5 years. Could you direct me to a website, etc. that could help me?
Thank you so much for your valuable time!
Answer -
Robin: Glad you asked. I will personally write your resume for you. Let's make a deal: I write your resume; you e-mail the names of the agencies who specialize in promoting talk show hosts. Deal or?
I am a professional business plan writer with 40+
years experience. I have wriiten resumes for numerous people - I can and will do the same for you.
If you will agree to my "deal" I will also instruct you what else you need other than a resume and how to go about it. Visit my website www.businessbeatlive.com: I have been producing and airing Business Beat Live for 11 years - some 565 shows. The show has attracted nationally prominent business guests and authors who have come in from
all over the country, at THEIR EXPENSE, to appear on the show. A partial list of guests and guest comments are posted on the website along with guest pictures.
Please tell me more about your show: where you are located, where the show airs, the name of the show and type of guests on the show. Do you have a show website? You may e-mail me directly at johntroland@msn.com Hope to hear from you soon.
Answer -
Robin: Just got back to my office - I am both SHOCKED and BAFFLED!!!!! at 11:47am today I get one allexperts e-mail in which you ask me another question. Two minutes later at 11:49am I receive a very DAMMING/NEGATIVE e-mail from you BLASTING me for not responding as I promised. I NEVER got a response from you asking you to e-mail me various info I asked you to send me. I only get 1-12 e-mails per day; it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY I overlooked or deleted your e-mail without both opening it and recognizing it as having come from you.
I will ONLY write your resume when the following 3 conditions are met:
1) you call me PERSONALLY at 1-800-840-4320
2) you e-mail me again the requested response
I previously asked for; I will acknowledge
it's receipt
3) you contact all experts; RETRACT the ENTIRE
negative criticism/ratings and I am in receipt
of a copy of such retraction
Once again my DIRECT e-mail is johntroland@msn.com
Answer Robin: Please do me a favor anyway: you said you sent 5 e-mails to my personal e-mail address. Would you please send just one of them to me again so I can see what the subject line was and what the e-mail address was. I am so sorry we had this mixup because I just love answering questions for aspiring business people and ESPECIALLY those doing tv work.
