New Weather Blog Announcement!! FreshAJ.com

FreshAJ · Nov 15th 2011, 10:48 AM

Hi folks...my name is AJ Jain and I've been a meteorologist on TV, in the Aviation industry, and on an Energy Trade Floor.

I've started a new blog called Fresh AJ (www.freshaj.com) that gives students, graduates and career professionals juicy insights into the weather industry...particularly TV. There are no ads, and it's all free.

Here are a few of my TV posts:

Please feel free to comment, like, dislike, subscribe on the blog itself. If you do love what you see, please share this with folks too!

I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Thanks!

AJ

Does the second tradition involve crossdressing?

Some great advice on this blog! I'm just sorry that I didn't think of it first.

Are you fortifying the Fearmonger Flakes with extra irony?

@TAFKA wacowx: Thanks! Please feel free to give any additional thoughts and ideas you may have on the blog too

I'm trying to figure out how to generate more interaction on the blog (ie more comments, like's, subscriptions)? Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Looks like the truth to me from what I learned while I was in tv for 7 years. If you would care to write some blogs on moving into the energy industry or aviation industry that would be helpful too!

There are several of us here trying to make those jumps...very unsucessfully

FreshAJ · Nov 18th 2011, 07:40 AM

Hi there, I'll definitely write about transitioning from TV into aviation or energy. It's exactly what I did...so I definitely have some tips into getting in.

I'll keep you updated, or you can always subscribe and you'll get a very clean email of my updates. Thanks!

Hey AJ,
Just read more of your blog. Great work. The unemployment rate article from yahoo is interesting to say the least...just check out American Wx forum if you want to see hoards of unemployed mets., here(medialine) isn't much better.

Well I guess we're not unemployed but many are not employed in met related positions.

FreshAJ · Nov 20th 2011, 10:07 PM

Thanks QVectorman. Yep have already seen the Americanwx blog and read some of the posts. The sad truth is there are just too many meteorologists out there and few meteorology openings. In private companies and TV...the competition is pretty bad.

Feel sorry for new grads...it's a really tough market out there!
