More to fill out my lonely (but stellar and accomplished) profile than anything else, I've added my job during the summers, winter and spring breaks while in college. Frank N. Magid Associates in Marion, Iowa, gave me my first job, as a Market Research telephone interviewer. Several hours every evening I would be given a list of telephone numbers and a usually length questionaire, asking people their opinions, primarily of the local news anchors in their area from what I recall. I've always appreciated Magid's for keeping us college kids employed during our breaks and teaching many of us our first lessons in professional conduct.
