Earlier this month, I spoke with a friend who, like me, has been a DJ. He said when people see that on his resume, they're usually intrigued, "more than they should be."
I knew what he meant. I've gotten that reaction before, too. One co-worker, upon hearing I'd been a DJ, exclaimed, "Very cool!"
I appreciated that reaction. Most jobs don't involve communicating with an audience over the airwaves, so I suppose some people see the profession as somewhat exotic.
To me, however, I was just sitting in a room talking and playing music.
