Career
Filiaggi began her professional broadcasting career in 1993, working at The Steve Dahl & Garry Meier Show as an office manager. She was offered this job after attending a remote broadcast of the show at Hooters. She later became a producer for Steve Dahl.
She was laid off from WLS on February 29, 2008 due to corporate restructuring. On June 16, 2008, following a subsequent management change at the station and amid continued expressions of support from the show's fans, Filiaggi was reinstated. However, her reinstatement was short lived. On May 8, 2009 it was announced on the Roe Conn Show that she had once more been laid off by station management. She was replaced by former NBC 5 reporter and fill-in traffic reporter at WLS-AM, Amy Jacobsen. Starting June 7, 2009, Filiaggi was the sidekick on a week-to-week basis on the "Living Large with Geoff Pinkus" show, Sundays from 5-7 PM on WIND (AM) 560.
On March 26, 2010, Roe Conn announced that Filiaggi was returning to The Roe Conn Show once again, while she would continue to work part-time as a bartender at O'Brien's Restaurant in Chicago. She was also hired to do traffic reports on WLS-FM.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.”
—Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
