There are three major kinds of DJs: Mobile, Radio, and Club

Mobile DJs are the most common. They generally work parties and special events (ie: weddings, birthdays, etc.) onsite. This sort of work usually entails entertaining a wide array of tastes and age groups, as well as a bit of MC'ing. 

Radio DJs are the least common. Their task is to make sure there is never any dead air time by filling it with either their words, or music. Again, there is a certain mass appeal that needs to be worked on and being a Mr. Personality is important. 

Club DJs can be found, but aren't nearly as prominent at mobile DJs. They have a very specific clientele (age group wise) and are expected to play the latest and greatest all the time. This sort of DJing often requires the most technical know-how on mixing since style and uniqueness are critical to establish a name for yourself and the club you work for. Rave DJs tend to fit into this category because of the similar mixing skills required.
