Amber Salas (2017-21) joins the "Where Ya At?" podcast as she's closing out a two-year stint at KTIV in Sioux City, Iowa and just before she begins a new job with Austin-based FloSports.Amber details the challenges of attending college and getting internships during Covid, the 50-plus jobs she applied for and didn't get, the changes she made to her demo reel to ultimately land the job in Iowa, and the SDSU alum who contacted her about this next job. She also gives helpful advice on dealing with rejection, what it's being a one-man band in a TV newsroom, and the importance of being hyper local in a small market. "Where Ya At?" is a podcast focused on the School of Journalism and Media Studies at San Diego State University. Each week, during the Fall and Spring semesters, host Josh Suchon (Class of 1996) interviews alumni to learn about their experiences as college students, entering the workforce, key steps in their professional development, advice they'd give to current students, and details about how they covered a specific story.
