Hello,
I was channel flicking the other day and saw a television news channel advertising the role of "TV Program Monitor". You basically watch their television shows, and send them a 300 word report on what you thought. That's the only detail they give, and i checked on their website and they say they pay remunerations of 3000 Japanese Yen (Its a japenese TV channel that broadcasts in english).
So my question is, what is the exact role of of a program monitor, besides watching tv and letting them know what you think?
Also, how good of a useful skill is this? Im desperate for things to put on my resume, and I know that this isn't going to get me a top job that pays well, but would you describe it as a useful thing to put on a resume?
Regards, and thanks in advance.

For example, if you typically watch only reality shows or only news programs, and you watch most t.v. between 4 pm and 6 pm, that is very valuable information for people putting t.v. schedules together. They want to know what their viewers want and when they want it, as well as what they don't want. Based on this information, they can create a station that appeals to as many people as possible. The bigger their audience gets, the more money they will make.
I don't think it's a very useful thing to put on a resume. I take online surveys for money, but I wouldn't think to put that on a resume. However, you might be able to use it as an example of how you are proficient at speaking and writing both Japanese and English. That would definitely help you on your resume. Good luck in your job search! [ Amarete's advice column | Ask Amarete A Question ]
