Not at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-was-just-interviewed-for-npr#post-166262 Fri, 04 Jun 2010 14:13:48 +0000 Maya 166262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do not have a NY accent, and neither do the vast majority of people I know. I actually can't think of anyone I know who has the stereotypical NY accent.</p> <p>When I was in France on my study abroad, one of the girls from the South (Alabama) told me that she could tell right away that I was "Northern." That is the only comment I have ever received regarding my bland lack of an accent.</p> <p>I am quiet and tend to speak slowly because I had it drilled into my head as a child that I spoke to fast and mumbled too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-was-just-interviewed-for-npr#post-166255 Fri, 04 Jun 2010 13:59:25 +0000 RoseandJoan 166255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woohooo Maya,</p> <p>I would love to hear your voice on the radio. I wonder if it will match the voice in my head. Do you have a typical NYC accent? In my head your accent is subtler.</p> <p>Of course I would love to hear your opinions also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-was-just-interviewed-for-npr#post-166136 Fri, 04 Jun 2010 02:04:42 +0000 Anonymous 166136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn't life ironic? How exciting and fingers crossed that it leads to a great job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-was-just-interviewed-for-npr#post-166119 Fri, 04 Jun 2010 01:31:44 +0000 Maya 166119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm guessing most people who work there do, considering they are based in New York. I'm not worried about working with people of different political stripes (again, usually not an issue considering every place I have worked has been in NY...a very politically homogeneous city). At any rate, unless you are working for a political organization, politics should stay out of the office. </p> <p>I don't think I could ever feel right working there though, integrity-wise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-was-just-interviewed-for-npr#post-166115 Fri, 04 Jun 2010 01:26:48 +0000 Mellllls 166115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>that is so exciting!</p> <p>i've actually had friends who've worked at that conservative news organization who have completely opposite political beliefs and it has worked out. you never know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-was-just-interviewed-for-npr#post-166111 Fri, 04 Jun 2010 01:23:44 +0000 fathenry 166111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How exciting!

And good for you for keeping an open mind about the conservative news org. You'll have to work with people of all kinds of political persuasions throughout your career, so staying "fair and balanced" is definitely a good professional quality to cultivate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-was-just-interviewed-for-npr#post-165997 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 20:28:17 +0000 April 165997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cool, Maya! I'll definitely search for your segment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-was-just-interviewed-for-npr#post-165974 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 19:18:02 +0000 DressLover 165974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, that is awesome beyond belief. I am so happy for you! And a tad jealous. ;)</p> <p>Definitely forward your resume even if you aren't interested in the particular organization. You'd be surprised how many people recommend others with differing opinions. It isn't hard to parrot someone, but it sure is impressive when you can persuade someone with vastly different beliefs to listen to your reasoning and opinions on issues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-was-just-interviewed-for-npr#post-165956 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 18:37:04 +0000 Scarlet 165956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool!

And considering you're more articulate than 95% of people out there, I'm confident you came off a whole lot better than you think you did! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-was-just-interviewed-for-npr#post-165821 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 14:20:46 +0000 Ele 165821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, Maya! That is super exciting, and now we can be "radio stars" together (&lt;-- sarcasm). </p> <p>I can't imagine you ever coming across as inarticulate! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-was-just-interviewed-for-npr#post-165816 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 13:48:58 +0000 Maya 165816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NPR = National Public Radio, my most trusted news source along with BBC.</p> <p>The interview was for Bob Hennelly. I'm not sure when it will be on or what program, unfortunately, but it should show up on the WNYC website (WNYC being the call numbers for New York Public Radio, if that wasn't clear). </p> <p>I wish there had been more time, but the train was only 2 minutes away, and in fact it was probably audible in the background as it pulled in. I'm pretty sure I sounded dumb and inarticulate, but I don't care. It felt good to vent and rave in front of total strangers without looking like a crazy person! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-was-just-interviewed-for-npr#post-165814 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 13:42:58 +0000 Steph 165814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay Maya! Were you interviewed in a (wo)man on the street type program? I have to admit that I just snorted at the idea of you working at Fox News. But the more connections you make, the better! (Lisa, NPR is National Public Radio.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-was-just-interviewed-for-npr#post-165812 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 13:38:38 +0000 Lisa 165812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know what NPR is but you seem so excited, that makes me excited for you too! Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-was-just-interviewed-for-npr#post-165810 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 13:28:08 +0000 marianna 165810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So excited for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-was-just-interviewed-for-npr#post-165809 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 13:27:48 +0000 florida 165809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exciting! What program was it for? Who was interviewing you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-was-just-interviewed-for-npr#post-165808 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 13:19:14 +0000 anne 165808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya that is so exciting and I can't wait to hear you! (we get a bit of NPR here in Aus, btw) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-was-just-interviewed-for-npr#post-165803 Thu, 03 Jun 2010 13:10:31 +0000 Maya 165803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I find it I will post a link, but it was off the cuff and kind of rushed so I didn't sound so great. I should forewarn that it is about politics and I know that isn't always welcome here. But it was so exciting I wanted to share with my friends, and YLF members are my friends! </p> <p>Someone overheard my interview and offered to look at my resume. Ironically, he works for a very conservative news organization (probably doesn't take much imagination to figure out which one). I'll send it anyway. Maybe he will have other contacts. </p>
