No doubt, it was p
ure coincidence that the bit came after the shocker Monday from KGO/San Francisco GM Michael Luckoff resigned.Bohan reminded House of bad career decisions he had made in the past, going to Florida for awhile and California but always coming back to Music City to greater success.
House admitted that he left for those jobs more because he was getting away from someone than going to anything attractive.
And, of course, hanging in the air is the fact that Gerry leaves WSIX in several months, leaving a vacuum in Music City mornings that no one can possibly fill in even close to the same way.
How did he find a job that was so perfect for him, which lasted so long?
Lots of people are looking for jobs, lots more changes are rumored, so that's more than just an interesting question.
A quick word of advice: whether you’re hiring or being interviewed, do the legal background checks, conduct the drug testing, take the Myers-Briggs. But, also, don’t neglect to check personal references, not particularly searching for skeletons in the closet but just looking for things the person excelled at and also talk directly about what the job requires and experience in doing those things.
Too often a wonderful person possessing certain skills is put into a job which requires a completely different skill set simply because the interviewer and the interviewee failed to tell one another exactly and honestly what they wanted in an employee and what they love doing well in working for someone.
Take the extra time to find your next job/hire and LOVE it.

House had actually resigned once before, but changed his mind. Last year, his “House Foundation” on-air team was broken up when longtime newsman Al Voecks and sportscaster Duncan Stewart were let go in a move House vigorously opposed. “I’d actually quit then had a sort of second guessing of my decision,” he says. “I’m glad I did the final year, but … I’m really ready to do something else.”
Working without his full team “wasn’t any fun,” House says. “It’s been a tough year; I’ll be honest with you. Change is always difficult. But I don’t hold any ill will toward anybody or anything. It just is what it is. It’s business.”
